This month we will be reading Snow Flower and the Secret Fan: A Novel by Lisa See. See’s engrossing novel set in remote 19th-century China details the deeply affecting story of lifelong, intimate friends (laotong, or “old sames”) Lily and Snow Flower, their imprisonment by rigid codes of conduct for women and their betrayal by pride and love. Join us for a lively discussion of this intriguing book. Discussion facilitated by Melesha Owen at 510-293-5239 or melesha.owen@hayward-ca.gov
