3.0

really just a morbid slice of life historical fiction book with a unique perspective on women's ailments and women physicians through late 1400s to mid 1500s in china. if you're squeamish, maybe avoid this one-especially if foot binding freaks you out. updated review addition: i can’t get over the asinine way things were translated to sound more “regal.”
