Library Book Club: Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See
May 19, 2022 from 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm Community Room
In nineteenth-century China, a girl named Lily, is paired with a laotong, “old same,” in an emotional match that will last a lifetime. The laotong, Snow Flower, introduces herself by sending Lily a silk fan on which she’s painted a poem in nu shu, a unique language that Chinese women created in order to communicate in secret.
As the years pass, Lily and Snow Flower send messages on fans, compose stories on handkerchiefs, reaching out of isolation to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments. The two find solace, developing a bond that keeps their spirits alive. But when a misunderstanding arises, their deep friendship suddenly threatens to tear apart.
Reading copies will be available a month prior to the discussion from the circulation desk.
