Sad, yet fulfilling, true and honest, yet fictional. A truly moving story about the hardships of being a woman in nineteenth-century China. Yes, foot binding too. In nineteenth century China, a girl from a poor family is paired into a lifelong female friendship match with a girl from a family of a higher social standing. So her life begins, and we learn about it through her own eyes, as she is growing up. Not only does Snow Flower and the Secret Fan extensively cover the woman's place and life in pre-modern China, but it's also a tale about sisterhood, trust and empathy, as well as just being a good human being, no matter what your circumstances are or failing to be one. This book includes a lot of detail on Chinese customs, especially regarding women's life and circumstances, and the main premise also hangs on the concept of nu shu, a somewhat secret writing system that the Chinese women taught from generation to generation, as they were forbidden to learn men's writing and had no other means to communicate with the families they were forced to leave behind when they married. Ms. See was honored as National Woman of the Year by the Organization of Chinese American Women in 2001, was the recipient of the Chinese American Museum's History Makers Award in 2003, and received the Golden Spike Award from the Chinese Historical Society of Southern California in 2017.; 258 pages First Edition thus, so stated; second Impression.

Taking as his starting point the findings of the eccentric American Charles Hoy Fort, who painstakingly collected and cataloged the unexplained and inexplicable, the author goes on to look at some of the strange phenomena that persist in human experience.
