This book is not only impressive in its range of field and breadth of knowledge, but also in the depth of its concern and humanity. Very highly recommended.

A lovely book that slowly unfolds to reveal how its love story, its starving lovesick maidens, its ghosts all speak to the theme of the value of women's voices.

This is a beautiful book, deeply human. All the characters yearn, and we yearn with them. I didn't want it to end.
