Ann!

Hi Twoki,
don't mind my butting in..... I've read both and I really liked both. I don't see the real connection between Lovely Bones and Peony... have to say that for some reason Lovely Bones brought me some closure after my mom's passing. Think I'll reread it.... it's one of the few books that I've kept on my shelf after reading it.

whoa, I really need to reread it.... now that I'm reading snowflake, I understand why Peony is not so interesting for you... as I read Peony first and since Lisa See was the first Asian author,,, or author to write about traditional chinese culture and traditions (and souls and spirits) I found it so interesting. Of course snowflake is so very similar in topic and like you I'll move on to other authors after I'm finished. (Well, i've just finished chapter 2 : Footbinding , which is for me a very disturbing tradition and difficult to read about )
