SNOW FLOWER AUTHOR LISA SEE IN PORTLAND
Author Talk and Book Signing
When: Monday, July 30, 7 PM
Where: Powell’s Books Cedar Hills Crossing, 3415 SW Cedar Hills Blvd.
Cost: Free
Lisa See's new novel, Peony in Love, came out on June 26. Here’s a bit about the story: In 17th century China, the Manchus have seized power and crushed the Ming dynasty. But in an elaborate villa on the shores of Hangzhou’s West Lake, Peony lives a sheltered life with her wealthy family, trapped like a good-luck cricket in a bamboo-and-lacquer cage. Though raised to be obedient, Peony has dreams of her own. One night, Peony catches sight of an elegant and handsome young man, but she is betrothed to another. So begins Peony’s unforgettable journey, which brings to life an exotic time and place—even the vividly imagined realm of the afterworld, where one’s soul is divided into three, ancestors offer guidance, misdeeds are punished, and hungry ghosts wander the earth in hopes of marrying the living in “ghost marriages.”
Based on a true story, Peony in Love uses the richness and magic of the Chinese afterlife to transcend death and explore the many manifestations of love. Ultimately, it’s about universal themes: the bonds of female friendship, the power of words, and the age-old desire of women to be heard.
