 an Yunxian loses her mother at a young age\, and her father quickly remarr
 ies\, sending Yunxian to live with her grandparents. There she finds her p
 assion\, learning the art of medicine from her grandmother. She also befri
 ends a midwife&rsquo\;s daughter\, Meiling\, a tie complicated by their va
 stly different social strata. When Yunxian marries into the wealthy and tr
 aditional Yang family\, her life constricts\, and she fights loneliness in
  her new\, oppressive environment. Her husband is kind but mediocre\, her 
 mother-in-law constantly critical. In her latest engaging historical novel
 \, following The Island of Sea Women (2019)\, best-selling See tells a tal
 e of female relationships\, portraying women who hold historically authent
 ic worldviews as they face the complexities of Chinese medicine and the ma
 tter-of -fact acceptance of the brutal foot-binding their husbands find so
  beautiful. See creates a cultural smorgasbord as she adeptly depicts the 
 strict delineation and separation of the sexes and the minute details of t
 he social hierarchy\, especially among the women \, from wives to concubin
 es\, widows\, daughters\, and servants. Based on the writings of an histor
 ical Ming dynasty female physician\, See&rsquo\;s accomplished novel immer
 ses readers in a fascinating life lived within a fascinating culture.</p>\
