Reader comments
An excellent novel. The words in the book are alive and real. Women's growth is often full of thorns. I envy Li Zhao's sobriety and admire my sister-in-law's courage. I witnessed Chen Jinglan's growth. The chapter about bullying in the book shocked me extremely. It hit me hard from a perspective that I had never thought about. My brain began to think and re-examine myself as the plot developed.
