“Electrifying . . . a fascinating and often surprising story of women helping women, women hurting women, and women misunderstanding each other.”—The Miami Herald
In seventeenth-century China, in an elaborate villa on the shores of Hangzhou’s West Lake, Peony lives a sheltered life. One night, during a theatrical performance in her family’s garden, Peony catches sight of an elegant, handsome man and is immediately overcome with emotion. So begins Peony’s unforgettable journey of love and destiny, desire and sorrow, the living world and the afterworld. Eventually expelled from all she’s known, Peony is thrust into a realm where hungry ghosts wander the earth, written words have the power to hurt and kill, and dreams are as vivid as waking life.
Peony in Love, based on actual historical events, evokes vividly another time and place and will make you ache in heart and mind for young Peony and all the women of the world who want to be heard.

Reseñas de la crítica
“A complex period tapestry inscribed with the age-old tragedy of love and death.”—The New York Times Book Review
“Electrifying . . . a fascinating and often surprising story of women helping women, women hurting women and women misunderstanding each other.”—The Miami Herald
“See mines an intriguing vein of Chinese history . . . weaving fact and fiction into a dense romantic tapestry of time and place as she meditates on the meaning of love, the necessity of self-expression and the influence of art.”—Los Angeles Times
“A transporting read, to lost worlds earthly and otherwise.”—Chicago Tribune
“A quietly beautiful tale that sneaks into the reader’s heart . . . Not since Susie Salmon of Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones has a ghostly narrator been as believable and empathetic.”—San Antonio Express-News
“There’s much here to be savored and a great deal to be learned.”—The Washington Post Book World
“Engrossing . . . [a] thought-provoking meditation on what it means to be human.”—People (Critic’s Choice)
“A coming-of-age story, a ghost story, a family saga and a work of musical and social history . . . Peony’s vibrant voice, perfectly pitched between the novel’s historical and passionate depths, carries her story beautifully—in life and afterlife.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Shakespearean in its themes and emotional depths.”—St. Paul Pioneer Press
“A beautiful book about love that reads like an edge-of-your-seat thriller you never want to put down or see end . . . This is a book to be read and reread, savored and relived, pored over and relished.”—Bookreporter
“Haunting . . . The female writers who gasp for air are inspiring, as is the depth of a love that refuses to die, either on stage or in a young girl’s heart.”—USA Today
“Filled with unexpected lessons and literary rewards.”—Associated Press
“This novel belongs in your poolside bag. It is an ideal vacation book—suspenseful, romantic—that will keep you in your lounge chair for hours. See paints here a sweeping, authentically rendered portrait of a family and a society. She captures the spiritual, near-magical rituals of the culture, while showing the conflicts that such traditions are found to foster.”—Houston Chronicle
