Lady Tan's Circle Of Women
by Lisa See
An immersive historical novel set in 15th-century China, based on the true story of Tan Yunxian, a female physician who devoted her life to woman’s healthcare. Kirkus called it “engrossing”: “Women’s friendships in a world where they have little freedom shape a quietly moving book.”
