A beautiful exploration of a life-long friendship between two women, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan follows Lily and her life-long friend Snow Flower from their childhood through their adulthood. It is written as a memoir by Lily after she has lived a long life and is reflecting on, and regretting, aspects of her life and relationship with Snow Flower. Meditative and emotional, it is an exploration of a deep relationship between two women as they navigate their lives and their culture across many decades.
