Lady Tan's Circle of Women

Lady tans circle of women was my favorite fictional historical novel I've read in a very long time. I feel like I don't hear much about historical fiction being written in non-European countries maybe that's my own personal experience, but when this book was recommended to me, I knew I had to read it.

Learning about Confucius medicine and what's considered medicine at that point in time was extremely interesting . I felt like I was falling into China in the 1400s. though it's not what we would consider a happy story now, the way that the novel covers so many points in her life and ends in a way that connects her story all the way to the beginning, really gives you an encapsulation of what it would be like to be a Confucius female doctor!!!
