    The most interesting aspect of the book to me was learning about the Chinese culture during the 19th century. The book can be graphic at times although I would still recommend it.

    It was a nice, intimate discussion of a somewhat unsettling book. The book affected us in many ways, and I found it to be a rather cathartic read.

    Good meetup with a great group of gals. Nice, intimiate discussion of a somewhat disturbing but relevant book.

    After discussing the book, the agreement was that it was pretty depressing. Sylvia was a tortured young soul. We ended with some laughter in order to go home on an uplifting note. Five people attended wish there were more. See you in two months.

    THe discussion was a good one even without a formal moderator, and although there was the listof questions, we covered significant points. I was a little disappointed with the low turnout, but it didn't keep me from enjoying the evening and the company. Mimi's did a good job seeing to our needs this month.

    I had a great time conversing with all of the women at the meeting. I really disliked the book, but we talked about and discussed it for a time. We then continued to talk about other books of interest we were all reading. Very active discussion.

    Many of us just couldn't get into this book, but we really had a great discussion!

    This book was not a big hit with the group, but we managed to find something to talk about anyway.
