Powieść historyczna

15th century China. Tan Yunxian was born into an elite family, but one haunted by death, separation and loneliness. Raised by her grandparents to be useful, she begins her training in medicine under the aegis of her grandmother. As Yunxian navigates the male-dominated world of medicine, she struggles against the confining world of her class. Alongside her is a young midwife-in-training, Meiling. The two girls find fast friendship and a mutual purpose and they vow to be forever friends, sharing in each other's joys and struggles. 'No mud, no lotus', they tell themselves: from adversity beauty can bloom. How might a woman like Yunxian break free of tradition, go on to treat women and girls from every level of society, and lead a life of such importance that many of her remedies are still used five centuries later? How might the power of friendship support or complicate these efforts? A captivating story of women helping other women. It is also a triumphant reimagining of the life of a woman who was remarkable in the Ming dynasty and would be considered remarkable today.
