Our book club's choice for March



This month our Book Club is reading, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See.  I've just started reading it but some of the members  (the "keeners"!!) have already read it and seemed to have gained a lot of insight into another culture.
 
Have you read this book?  What are your thoughts?


Don't give away any surprises...remember I've just started it!!

March 27/11 - Update - just finished this book, I quite liked it and found it to be an absorbing novel and very different from anything else I had ever read.  The story takes place in 19th century China and I found it very interesting to learn about other cultures and how other people lived.  Would definitely recommend this book.

    Hi Monica, thanks for checking out my blog. I love the idea of a book club and will check out that book next time I'm at the book store. Your Living Green tips are a great idea too. A lot of it is plain common sense but your blog puts it in "black and white" which makes your readers think. I look forward to staying in touch :)

    we did read this book for our book club and it near broke my heart, because the silver lining that I was looking for never did show up! It has been a while - but i do remember it broke my heart! Would love to check in on you and see what topic you are on to next - I am all for green, including in my food and recipes!
