Really wonderful-loved all the little details about Chinese life style!!

Very good read. Finished in one go.

This was a beautifully written book with even richer character development.Each character had such an interesting story and back story. I felt I had been picked up & placed into each life because it was so well told. There were happy moments and sad moments between the mothers and their daughters.There are a lot of characters, and sometimes I struggled to remember who was who but I'm like that with practically any story than has more than 3 main characters. It's my downfall.I'm glad I read this, it was interesting to read about the different cultures, and insight to how others live/lived their lives from past to present, how traditions change or how people can be shaped by the country they grow up in if it differs from their parents.

a wonderful book-a novel which is also a kind of self help book.my most keen memory-the daughter who goes to live with her mother -previously the first, but now the second concubine to a wealthy man.when the first concubine gives the daughter a string of pearls her mother crushes one with her fingers to show that it is just cheap plaster, saying " now you will learn not to be bought so cheaply..."But I think her greatest triumph is her delineation of the character of Harold-that was really something to which I could so relate

The book was good and quick to read but it wasn’t exactly how I expected. For people looking for a book similar to crazy rich Asians this is not it (it had more of an ‘always be my maybe’ vibe).

An absolute pleasure to read from start to finish. Got slightly muddled with the characters but decided not to worry about that as it wouldn’t be a chore to read it again because it is so beautifully written. Looking forward to reading this authors other novels

This is a fascinating book showing the transition of four families beween two cultures. A very entertaining read.
