Peach Blossom Pavilion is the first novel in English about a Chinese courtesan (geisha) who was a qin musician!
From Recent Reviews:
A riveting account of mysterious lifestyles in
pre-Communist China, PEACH BLOSSOM PAVILION is
filled with amazing characters and unique stories. Xiang
Xiang begins her tales through the eyes of an
adolescent, shocked, and heartbroken at her losses. Her
strength and perseverance is brilliantly portrayed in
this stunningly presented novel…The journey she
eventually takes is both exciting and poignant as Xiang
Xiang finds not only who she seeks, in many ways, but
also discovers herself… Beautifully written, readers
will not be able to put this book down until the last
page is turned.
Jani Brooks, Romance Review Today
"From a prodigiously talented new Chinese author comes a marvelous debut novel about a woman who becomes China's most successful courtesan. Yip's work echoes 'Memoirs of a Geisha,' but with a sharper, more suspenseful pace."
