This is a historical novel set in 17th Century China. Peony is on the edge of sixteen, and in love with the drama The Peony Pavilion, and with a poet she meets at a performance of the opera.
Fascinating details of traditional Chinese culture, from medicine to the Afterworld to foot-binding. And well-written.
