Reader Reviews
So much of the history of "common people" is lost, while history and journalism struggle to record the daily events of the notables. In The Lotus Lovers, Levy makes stars out of ordinary peasant women in China. He begins with the history of this intolerable practice, moves on to discuss the emancipation movements, then goes into the oral histories of the bound women. Any question one might have, from the method to the shoes, to the pain of life on bound feet, is answered in these riveting interviews. I highly recommend this book, as it gives significant insight to a culture so very different from our own. To see the types of shoes worn by these women, I suggest the book Splendid Slippers. Splendid Slippers is a "coffee table" summary of Levy's book.
