Spring Moon is the tale of a wealthy Chinese family. It begins around the late-nineteenth century and follows the life of Spring Moon--a headstrong girl who is torn between modernism and tradition.
With an upcoming trip to China looming, I am intrigued by Chinese history and culture. This book describes the pride of the Chinese people... To their families, their traditions and culture. Spring Moon herself endures the pain of binding her feet at the age of 7. I can't even begin to fathom the pain she must've felt at such a young age! But she also rebels these tradtions as much as she follows them. At a young age, she took to learning how to read and write, definitely not something a woman of that time should or even could be doing! And while she does find love in her marriage, she feels the pressure of being part of two households. And if that doesn't pique your interest, her scandalous love story will!
