Although the story is set in the nineteenth century China, it seems to be an in-depth inspection of the temperament of all women in general.

It was interesting to make a note of the Chinese culture with respect to arranged marriage, dowry, New Year celebrations, mourning of dead and celebration of birth. This was my first trip to China via this book and I enjoyed it.
