Description:

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan tells a parallel story of deep friendship across centuries. In 19th-century China, seven-year-old girls Snow Flower and Lily are matched as laotong, or old sames, bound together for eternity. Isolated by their families, they communicate secretly by writing in a private language called nu shu between the folds of a white silk fan. In present-day Shanghai, their descendants Nina and Sophia struggle to maintain their childhood bond amid demanding careers, complicated love lives, and a relentlessly evolving city. To save their failing relationship, the two modern women must look to the lessons of the past. They must decode the story of their ancestral connection hidden within the folds of the antique white silk fan, or risk losing each other forever. This emotional drama explores the power of sisterhood and enduring love.
