Presentation Editor:
For young Peony, is holed up in the apartments of women and promised to a husband she never met, life is monotonous. So when in the garden of the Chen family, among the scents of ginger, Green tea and jasmine, a theater company comes to play his favorite opera, Peony begs his parents to let her attend the show. His mother, reluctant for the sake of propriety, is comforted by her husband: women will watch the opera from behind a screen. But during the performance, the girl falls for an elegant man with raven hair. So begins the unforgettable story of the fate of Peony and its frustrated love. The new novel by Lisa See takes us in China from the seventeenth century, after the fall of the Ming dynasty and the seizure of power by the Manchus. It's a long journey in the throes of passion - and its consequences even in the afterlife - that we invited The Peony Pavilion: a novel of mad love, steeped in the mystery of Chinese traditions.

My word to me:
I loved his novel "Snow Flower" and wanted to read another author's knowing that I do not necessarily end up the same theme with respect Chinese traditions dating. It was a long startup: The Peony Pavilion is an opera that many young girls have a passion, if not an obsession.
Peony is lucky that his father for his birthday to make a band play his favorite opera unfolding three evenings. During one of her evening, she will racontre and some may not think of anything but the story of the Peony Pavilion.
Where it became more interesting to me was when the ghost (spirit) Peony access level by level in the afterlife.
The author describes the Chinese belief of the time following the funeral, and depending on how the person died. Peony for this will be a long journey because some rules were not respected and it must find a way to have access to his eternal rest.
Unfortunately, it will always lead Lovers of the Peony Pavilion and compare them ...

Once again the author wrote a novel very interesting, very informative regarding the beliefs of Chinese culture, and of course once again on the conditions of women - especially young girls here - China in the seventeenth century.
