    Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: A NovelSnow Flower and the Secret Fan: A Novel by Lisa See

    Lily is haunted by memories—of who she was and of Snow Flower, the person long gone who shaped her destiny. Now, in nineteenth-century China, with bound feet and life in near seclusion, she recounts their story while begging the gods for forgiveness.

    In remote Hunan, women developed a secret code called nu shu—“women’s writing”—to share their hopes and dreams. Some were paired as laotongs, “old sames,” forging emotional bonds that lasted a lifetime. A silk fan bearing Snow Flower’s poem in nu shu seals her friendship with Lily at the tender age of seven.

    Through famine and rebellion, arranged marriages, and the sorrows and joys of motherhood, their bond endures—until a single misunderstanding threatens to tear them apart.

    With the period detail and deep resonance of Memoirs of a Geisha, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan offers a lyrical, profoundly moving exploration of one of the most mysterious of human relationships: female friendship.

  • Book of the Day: The Berlin Agent

    The Berlin AgentThe Berlin Agent by Stephen Ronson

    A country at war. Bombers fill the skies. A parachute drops in the dead of night…

    England, 1940: With Paris fallen to the Third Reich, farmer John Cook and society heiress Lady Margaret brace for German tanks to roll across their fields. Both are prepared to vanish into the countryside and carry out their top-secret orders—whatever it takes to fight the Nazis on British soil.

    Their worst fears are realized when a parachutist drops from a German bomber during an air raid. Arriving at the scene, Cook finds white silk hanging from a branch and a mysterious crate containing complex machinery. The spy is nowhere to be found.

    But at night, Cook and Margaret hear German voices in the darkness. Others report hearing the same, and whispers of an agent from Berlin spread through the village. With enemies already hiding among them, how far will they go to protect the country and the people they love?

    An absolutely gripping WWII historical thriller that will leave you breathless. Perfect for fans of Robert Harris, Kate Quinn, and Rory Clements.
