Peony In Love


September Book of the Month

Peony In Love

By Lisa See

This month we read Peony In Love by Lisa See.  We met at P.F. Chang's because Peony In Love is a historical fiction book about a girl growing up in China studying The Peony Pavilion.  It was a very interesting book that provided an in-depth insight into the beliefs in the Chinese culture in regards to death and ghosts, and their traditions.  

I, personally, thought the book was very well written.  I was completely enthralled by the story. I thought it was yet another example of women being strong and smart, which seems to be a trend in our books.  I loved that the story was very much based on a true story.  My favorite saying in the book was: man-beautiful.  

Here we are with our books!  It was another great night of yummy food and good company!!
