Please join us for a discussion of “Lady Tan’s Circle of Women” by Lisa See.  Next month’s selection, “Lessons in Chemistry” by Bonnie Garmus will be available for pick up. 

Celebrated for novels that pull readers deep into Chinese history and culture, Lisa See imagines the life story of Tan Yunxian, a 15th-century physician who devoted her life to caring for women... Despite the inordinate limits placed on women, See allows their strengths to dominate their stories, even though not all women were graced with lives of fulfillment." ― Washington Post

"Lady Tan’s Circle of Women has everything you could want in a dramatic tale of female friendship." ― Katie Couric Media

"Based on the writings of an historical Ming dynasty female physician, See’s accomplished novel immerses readers in a fascinating life lived within a fascinating culture." ― Starred Booklist

"Engrossing…rich…packed with historical detail…Women’s friendships in a world where they have little freedom shape a quietly moving book." ― Kirkus Reviews
