From the back cover:
"In poised and elegant prose, Kathryn Harrison weaves a stunning story of women, travel, and flight; of love, revenge, and fear; of the search for home and the need to escape it. Set in alluring Shanghai at the turn of the century, The Binding Chair intertwines the destinies of a Chinese woman determined to forget her past and a Western girl focused on the promises of the future."

I enjoyed this, not what I thought it would be? As the saying goes don't judge a book by its cover.

The strength of Mai just proves that small packages........
Thanks for the chance to read this - I'll glad I did.

It seems that this book has taken a turn from the planned bookring journey that it started out on. This book will become a part of the Lost Book Island so that it may rest and relax with other books until such a time that it gets a new journal entry that tells just where this book has gotten off to and what its future travels may hold.
