Very similar to other books I have read like this like memoirs of a geisha and wild swans, even though I know that book is Chinese. But in terms of stronghold oppression over women it still holds up very similar.
It shows the constraints that these women had to deal with in their lives with no way out or no alternative available to them and how they have to live in this twisted and complicated dichotomy that they are forced into, in this instance, at the hand of 1 individual man who hold reigns over all the female characters in this novel.
