THE CAPTIVATING, HEART-RENDING STORY OF TWO WOMEN IN 1800S CHINA
'Brilliantly written, masterful storytelling, and hard to put down. This story will stay with me for a very, very long time' HEATHER MORRIS, author of The Tattooist of Auschwitz

'Mesmerising. Jane Yang masterfully creates this 19th century lost world' THE TIMES

'This story of love, loss and betrayal will leave a deep imprint on your soul. Perfect for fans of Memoirs of a Geisha' WOMAN & HOME

Love and loss. Sisterhood and betrayal. Little Flower and Linjing's fates are bound together.

As a child, Little Flower is sold to Linjing's wealthy family to become a muizai. In a fit of childish jealousy over her new handmaiden's ladylike bound feet and talent for embroidery, Linjing ensures Little Flower can never leave her to ascend in society.

Despite their starkly different places in the Fong household, over the years the two girls must work together to secure both their futures through Linjing's marriage. As the two grow up, they are by turns bitter rivals and tentative friends.

Until scandal strikes the family, and Linjing and Little Flower's lives are unexpectedly thrown into chaos. Linjing's fall from grace could be an opportunity for Little Flower - but will their intertwined fates lead to triumph, or tragedy for them both?

批評家のレビュー

Brilliantly written, masterful storytelling, and hard to put down. This story will stay with me for a very, very long time (HEATHER MORRIS, author of THE TATTOOIST OF AUSCHWITZ)
Mesmerising. Jane Yang masterfully creates this 19th century lost world with the complicated customs that rule women's lives
Heartbreaking and powerful. Set in 1800s China, this saga will completely transport you . . . Delving into class, gender, polygamous marriages and the practice of ancient foot-binding, this story of love, loss and betrayal will leave a deep imprint on your soul. Perfect for fans of Memoirs of a Geisha
The Lotus Shoes is a powerful story beautifully told. Little Flower and Linjing's story is complex, brutal, tragic, heartbreaking but ultimately uplifting and satisfying. I feel I have learned a great deal about a place and period I knew very little about. Jane Yang is an exciting new talent and I can't wait to read more from her (SANTA MONTEFIORE, author of SONGS OF LOVE AND WAR)
Yang's expert plotting and nuanced historical details result in an exceptional story that enchants from the first page to the last
Set in 19th-century China, this fascinating, evocative story of two little girls with very different destinies would make a great book club pick
Captivating . . . An utterly compelling read
Perfect for fans of Memoirs of a Geisha . . . beautifully evokes 19th century China
A captivating and exquisitely rendered novel that spans the last decades of 19th century China, as the country began its complex transition from a closed, imperial power to a modern nation, embracing Western ideas and influences. With deep research and elegant storytelling, The Lotus Shoes offers a fascinating look at the traditions of foot-binding, muizai, filial piety, and polygamy. For me, the centrepiece of the novel was the emotionally rich relationship between Linjing and Little Flower as it evolves over a lifetime and through multiple turns of fortune. I was invested in their story from the first page until the very last words. I so enjoyed this beautiful book (MELISSA FU, author of PEACH BLOSSOM SPRING)
Set in 1800s China, this big, juicy saga has scandal, hardship, love and sisterhood
Captivating
A fabulous read from the very first page, this is historical fiction at its absolute best. Yang's carefully crafted characters and intricately woven tale showed me a part of history I knew nothing about, and had me reading until midnight to discover the ending. This is easily one of the best books I've read in years, and the story of Linjing and Little Flower will stay with me for a long time to come. If you liked Memoirs of a Geisha, then you will love The Lotus Shoes (SORAYA LANE, author of THE SAPPHIRE DAUGHTER)
