About
A story set in medieval (Song Dynasty) China, about a young girl who must find her own way in life after being sold as a bride.
Note: Though the reading level isn't difficult and there is no explicit material, some of the situations described (parents selling children, abusive in-laws and courtesan houses) are appropriate for more mature readers. If your child is young or sensitive, you may wish to pre-read or wait until middle school to assign this book.
