I just submitted Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See. Nu Shu is a secret women's writing in China, this is how women can write about their lives with out men knowing. Snow Flower and Lili, one rich, one poor, are laotong for life and use a fan, which they write nu shu on to communicate. A touching novel of tragedy and triumph, sorrow and hope, told from the perspective of Lili. Enjoy. Amber
