Lady Tan's Circle of Women A Novel

i regret ignoring this book on my tbr and not reading it for so long.  it was such a wild ride through the life of lady tan with so much love, grief, intricacy and inspiration but wouldn't recommend to anyone who doesn't have even a slight interest in chinese history or philosophy as the story is often times heavy with it.  for me it was easily a 5 ⭐ read.
