Let's Read Peony in Love

Let's read and discuss Peony in Love by Lisa See.

Summary:
In seventeenth-century Chin, in an elaborate villa on the shores of Hangzhou's West Lake, Peony lives a sheltered life. One night, during a theatrical performance in her family's garden, Peony catches sight of an elegant, handsome man and is immediately overcome with emotion. So begins Peony's unforgettable journey of love and destiny, desire and sorrow, the living world and the afterworld.

I'm hoping this book will give us a fascinating glimpse into a historical fiction setting that many of us may not be as familiar with. I've read one of Lisa See's books before, and she's a good writer who is knowledgeable about China's history and weaves greats characters and story elements around real life events.

Let's meet at South Side Coffee Co in Lompoc and talk about what looks to be a great read!
