Snow Flower and Lily continue their strong lao-tong relationship once they return to their villages for many years and plan for their daughters to be lao-tongs too. However, one day changes everything. Lily misunderstands a message Snow Flower sends her and thinks that Snow Flower has betrayed her by joining up with three sworn sisters and not honouring their relationship. Lily is furious and banishes all thoughts of Snow Flower from her life, including burning everything that reminds her of her old same. She publicly embarrasses Snow Flower in front of many women in the village and due Lily's name, Snow Flower is gossiped about and shunned. Eight years later Snow Flower's daughter Spring Moon comes to Lily and tells her Snow Flower is very sick. Lily rushes to Snow Flower's side and tries desperately to make up for lost time. It is too late. After Snow Flower's death, Lily learns of her mistake in abandoning Snow Flower. She tries to make up for it after Snow Flower has passed by looking after her children and grand children. Just an absolutely beautiful book. I must do a re-read in the future.
