Vuelve la autora de El abanico de seda con una fabulosa historia de amor y amistad inspirada en la vida real de una mujer medica en la China del siglo XV

De acuerdo con los valores de Confucio, <>, pero Tan Yunxian, nacida en una familia de elite, es criada en condiciones excepcionales. Su abuela es una de las pocas doctoras que hay en China, y ensena a Yunxian los pilares de la medicina, los Cuatro Examenes -mirar, escuchar, tocar y preguntar-, algo que un hombre nunca puede hacer con una paciente. Desde pequena, Yunxian aprende sobre remedios herbales y enfermedades femeninas junto a una joven comadrona, Meiling, con quien forja una gran amistad. Pero cuando Yunxian es enviada a un matrimonio concertado, su suegra le prohibe verla y ayudar a las mujeres y ninas de la casa, pues debe cumplir con sus deberes de esposa.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

From "one of those special writers capable of delivering both poetry and plot" (The New York Times Book Review) an immersive historical novel inspired by the true story of a woman physician in 15th-century China-perfect for fans of Lisa See's classics Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane.

According to Confucius, "an educated woman is a worthless woman," but Tan Yunxian-born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separations, and loneliness-is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Her grandmother is one of only a handful of female doctors in China, and she teaches Yunxian the pillars of Chinese medicine, the Four Examinations-looking, listening, touching, and asking-something a man can never do with a female patient.
