This was a really beautiful retelling of a Chinese myth. I was not familiar with the original myth, but this retelling is stunning. Xishi is brave and clever, and I rooted for her from page one. The story is heartbreaking and poignantly illustrates the problems with putting men in positions of ultimate power. The writing is almost musical, and the entire reading experience felt almost trancelike for me. Really stunning.
