This novel takes place in 19th century China, and tells the story of two girls paired as "old sames" - an emotional match to last them throughout their lives. The two women speak of their footbinding experiences, arranged marriages, the joys and tragedies of motherhood... and more....
Until a huge misunderstanding threatens the very core of their friendship.

Not a thick book by any means, I expected to breeze through it. But I was mistaken... there were so many emotions to process... so many trials and tribulations... You can't read it too quickly because you find yourself asking yourself, "What would I have done?"
Definitely a recommended read.
