Description

If you received a gigantic bouquet of daisies from a potential suitor, what would you do? Tune into Lisa See’s episode of Virtual Book Tour to hear what she would do! We also discuss her new novel Lady Tan’s Circle of Women, the real history behind this extraordinary woman, and the importance of female friendships.  Lady Tan’s Circle of Women is a tale about female friendship and leadership in 15th-century China, challenging a woman’s place in society. From a young age, Tan Yunxian learns about women’s illnesses, alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling. The two girls find fast friendship and mutual purpose, and vow to be forever friends. When Yunxian is sent into an arranged marriage, she must learn to break free of these traditions and lead a life of treating women. Get Lady Tan’s Circle of Women at bookofthemonth.com.

Since we've never been ones to keep interesting new books to ourselves, we're kicking off a series of conversations with Book of the Month authors about God only knows what. Recorded at Book of the Month headquarters on West 27th St. in front of a live audience of raucous employees! Give us your ears and we'll give you a look into the minds of writers we admire and a treasure trove of anecdotes, wisdom, and fun. Suggestions or ideas? Email us at virtualbooktour@bookofthemonth.com
