The story is set from the early 1900s to the 1940s and is centred around three generations of women: a grandmother, daughter and granddaughter. The story illustrates unwanted female children being sold and brought in China. The characters are strong and with each generation managing to deal with the obstacles in their way.
A well written book with characters that you desperately wanted to succeed against all the odds. A really gripping end, happily reccomend.

I enjoyed this book and would recommend it, a fictional story based in historic China. One little niggle though, being half Chinese, it irritates me when the author throws in random Chinese words to try and make it more "Chinese".
