Peony in Love - Lisa See

This was the follow-up to Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. I was pretty sure that I would enjoy this book, so I didn't read the back cover and learned about it as I read. I was surprised when the narrator died about a third of the way through the book and continued to narrate in death. It was extremely unique and I really enjoyed the journey. It was another Chinese cultural novel, but showed a different side of Chinese culture. A lot of the cultural details were about Chinese beliefs about death, which were so foreign and fascinating to read about. I love immersing myself in other cultures through books - it makes for a wonderful ride.

4.5/5 stars.
