Why read it?
1 author picked Four Sisters of Hofei as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Fiction and biography are a good way of walking in someone else’s shoes.

It follows the lives of well-educated sisters from a prosperous background not just in Beijing and Shanghai but in a diversity of provinces too.
From Sylvia's list on the heart and soul of China.
