What We're Reading This Month... |
| Set in 19th-century China, The Lotus Shoes by Jane Yang is a transportive work of historical fiction that's almost impossible to put down. Yang explores gender, class, courage and survival through the characters of Little Flower and Linjing. Their complex relationship is the backbone of this captivating debut novel, masterfully told and gripping until the very end. |
What We Love: - The complex characters
- The immersive setting
- The chess match of a relationship

Jane Yang was born in the Chinese enclave of Saigon and raised in Australia, where she grew up on a diet of superstition and family stories from Old China. Despite establishing a scientific career, first as a pharmacist and later in clinical research, she is still sometimes torn between modern, rational thinking and the pull of old beliefs in tales passed down through the family. She lives in Australia with her family. |
