SEPTEMBER'S BOOK OF THE MONTH

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan

Lisa See

Lily is the daughter of a humble farmer, and to her family, she is just another expensive mouth to feed. Then the local matchmaker delivers startling news: if Lily's feet are bound properly, they will be flawless. In nineteenth-century China, where a woman's eligibility is judged by the shape and size of her feet, this is extraordinary good luck. Lily now has the power to make a good marriage and change the fortunes of her family. To prepare for her new life, she must undergo the agonies of footbinding, learn nu shu, the famed secret women's writing, and make a very special friend, Snow Flower. But a bitter reversal of fortune is about to change everything.

On our Patreon, we have a book club membership for £3 a month, where you can offer questions, ideas on the monthly book, and contribute to the conversation, as well as other benefits.
We wanted to create a community in these weird times where people felt a little less alone, and could join in with us on the podcast. It also helps to keep the podcast running, and supports us as creators. 

You do not need to join this if you just wish to read the book along with us.

However, if you do wish to, you can join below, if you want to.
