Peony in Love by Lisa SeeUg. I hated this book. Honestly, to me, this was about a moody 15/16 year old who was pissed at her parents, got caught up in her fantasy world, stopped eating, and died. The Chinese history and beliefs about spirits was interesting. The status of women was depressing, but this book was not my cup of tea.
I've only read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, but after reading your review it seems like Lisa See really enjoys writing tragedies.
