Title: Potential in an interesting topic, but didn't quite meet expectations
Review: This was a very quick read following the lives of several young women in 1830s China. There's some interweaving of their experiences, but the characters seem mostly two-dimensional. A lot of the book is striaght-forward narrative, which is fine, but the plot seemed largely simplistic and underdeveloped. There was potential for a lot more - greater depth in understanding some of the key characters (including the women who were not spinsters) and some of the historical events taking place in this period of time.
