Review: I absolutely loved this and could hardly put it down. Lisa See really takes you into the lives of women in 15th century China. Although this is fiction, it's based on a real woman - China's first female doctor. That said (spoiler alert coming up now!) .... you'll find it was really her grandmother who was the first doctor. This book encouraged me to research themes like foot binding, eunuchs, concubines, and traditional Chinese medicine. Lisa See's writing style is exquisite and beautiful. I'll definitely be reading more of her books!
Review: Great book! I couldn't put it down. A very visual story, easy to follow, with interesting and relatable characters. Friendship, love, murder, mystery... this novel has everything. Will be reading more from this author.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by A***A on 4 January 2025*

“Illness comes not only from the body but from the spirit.” These words by Lisa See encapsulate the soul of Lady Tan’s Circle of Women, a beautifully woven tale of resilience, love, and the bonds of sisterhood in imperial China. Inspired by the life of Tan Yunxian, a historical woman physician, this novel immerses readers in a world where medicine, tradition, and patriarchy collide. From her privileged upbringing to her unexpected journey into medicine, Lady Tan’s life is both restricted by her time and enriched by her determination to heal. At its heart, this book is about connection—particularly the strength women can offer each other in a world intent on silencing them. Yunxian’s bond with Meiling, her midwife-turned-best friend, is central to her journey. “A circle of women strengthens and protects,” Meiling tells her, a sentiment that shapes Yunxian’s outlook and her courage to defy the expectations imposed upon her. Lisa See brings 15th-century China to life with vivid, meticulous detail. Readers are transported to lush gardens, bustling markets, and hushed sickrooms where “illness is both a curse and a puzzle.” The immersive narrative also uncovers themes of class, gender, and the sacrifices made in the pursuit of knowledge. Yunxian’s resilience in pursuing her calling, even as society tries to confine her to the four walls of womanhood, is truly inspiring. As she reflects, “I cannot change the world, but I can change a life.” These words echo her lasting impact as a healer and the profound emotional weight of her story. Lisa See crafts a tale as intricate and meaningful as Yunxian’s medicinal cures—a celebration of tradition, rebellion, and the unyielding power of women’s solidarity.
