review 1: Although the book was well written I don't have any background knowledge in Buddhism, Chinese art, or poetry and I couldn't relate to the main character at all. At times, the story reminded me of a Victorian historical romance. I chose to read this novel because I thought that Meng Ning's struggle to find herself and her place in the world, as she chose between either becoming a nun or marrying a foreigner, would be interesting. Since I didn't relate to the main character, though, I didn't really care what choice she made in the end.
review 2: Not one of my favorites but it is a good read about Chinese culture. It was nice to follow the protaganist through her growth and develooemnt. It took me a while to finish this book because it was slow at times. You are s... moreupposed to grow with the main character, but for me it was hard to find the connection needed for this growth. Would be an excellent book for a young women questioning her sexuality, her marriage, contemplating herslef in any form. less
