Hello Journey through History book group fans, Our book for 12/5/23 in A Journey through History is Lady Tan's Circle of Women DB 115160 by Lisa Se. David Faucheux will be leading our discussion and has provided the below email received from the author Lisa See in the email history with some links regarding the book. Hope to see you at the meeting. Here is the NLS annotation: Lady Tan's circle of women DB115160 See, Lisa Reading time: 13 hours, 6 minutes. Jennifer Lim Historical Fiction Women Bestsellers "According to Confucius, “an educated woman is a worthless woman,” but Tan Yunxian—born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separations, and loneliness—is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Her grandmother is one of only a handful of female doctors in China, and she teaches Yunxian the pillars of Chinese medicine, the Four Examinations—looking, listening, touching, and asking—something a man can never do with a female patient. From a young age, Yunxian learns about women's illnesses, many of which relate to childbearing, alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling. The two girls find fast friendship and a mutual purpose—despite the prohibition that a doctor should never touch blood while a midwife comes in frequent contact with it—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. But when Yunxian is sent into an arranged marriage, her mother-in-law forbids her from seeing Meiling and from helping the women and girls in the household. Yunxian is to act like a proper wife—embroider bound-foot slippers, pluck instruments, recite poetry, give birth to sons, and stay forever within the walls of the family compound, the Garden of Fragrant Delights. How might a woman like Yunxian break free of these traditions, 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? Lady Tan's Circle of Women is 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." -- Provided by publisher. Commercial audiobook. Bestseller. From: David F Below is the bit from Lisa See's email reply to me that I wanted to share with the group. I love to join book clubs on Zoom. Unfortunately, I won't be able to join you on that date, because that's my husband's birthday. Since I can't join you, I hope you'll take a look at my web site, particularly the Step Inside the World of Lady Tan section, where I have a lot of photos, videos, etc. Here's the link: https://lisasee.com/step-inside/lady-tans-circle-of-women/#guide Two more things. Lady Tan's Circle of Women was Target's Book Pick for August. I signed all the copies that people can order online. Plus the edition comes with a special essay written by me. I think it's discounted too. I know they still have copies.

This week, host Jason Jefferies is joined by New York Times bestselling author Lisa See, who discusses her new novel Lady Tan's Circle of Women, which is published by our friends at Scribner.  Topics of discussion include foot binding, medicine as practiced in China vs. the USA, suffering as love, gender roles in 15th century China, concubines, lavish homes, the Chinese zodiac, and more.  Copies of Lady Tan's Circle of Women can be ordered here with FREE SHIPPING for members of Explore More+.

Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See. She's a terrific writer - one of my favourite books in recent years was The Island of Sea Women. This new one is historical, set in 15th Century China about a woman - Yungxian Tan - whose grandmother was a doctor (highly unusual) and was raised to understand and assist with women's health, and whose best friend was a midwife in training. When Yunxian is sent into an arranged marriage everything changes and she's forbidden from seeing her friend or from practicing her medicine; she's expected to behave like a proper wife - but she has other ideas. Based on a woman who lived during the Ming dynasty, this is really terrific and went straight to the top of the NY Times bestseller list on publication.  After That Night by Karin Slaughter. I still think she has the best surname for a thriller writer. This is about her ongoing characters Will Trent who works for the Georgia Bureau of Investigations and his fiancé, Sara Linton who's a medical examiner. Fifteen years ago, Sara's life changed forever when a celebratory night out ended in a violent attack that tore her world apart. Since then, she has remade her life. Until one evening, on call in the ER, everything changes. She battles to save a broken young woman who's been brutally attacked, but as the investigation progresses, led by Will, it becomes clear that this assault is uncannily linked to Sara's, all those years ago. Gritty, really clever thriller writing. Fans will love it.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Despite being an attorney and mother of two, Pierre's love for home-cooked meals led her to cook frequently in college and host Sunday dinners with friends. Her website gained popularity, leading to her television appearances. Pierre was drawn to "The Great American Recipe" because of the opportunity for advancement and the camaraderie among contestants.

Looking ahead, she hopes to expand her culinary reach through cooking demos and potentially releasing her own cookbook. Ultimately, she enjoys cooking and is excited to see where her journey takes her.   Story 6: wife   During a Father's Day weekend boat ride on Lake Hartwell, A Winder man, Constantin Pascal's plans for celebration turned tragic.

Pascal's widow, Anna, expressed her devastation and emphasized the importance of checking equipment before use. The incident serves as a reminder to prioritize safety on the water. A GoFundMe account has been set up to support Pascal's family during this difficult time.……….We'll be back after this   Break 3: Lawrenceville – Ingles 8– GCPS tfn   Story 7: cyber   A state lawmaker is pushing for the creation of a state cyber command in response to a recent Russian cyber-attack on the University System of Georgia and federal agencies. Senator Jason Anavitarte has called for immediate action, urging the Georgia House of Representatives to pass legislation to establish a Georgia Cyber Command. The proposed measure would transfer the responsibilities of the Georgia Technology Authority to the Georgia Emergency Management and Homeland Security Agency. A statewide chief information security officer would be appointed to oversee the command, fostering partnerships between the public and private sectors for information sharing. Earlier this year, Georgia passed SB 93, which prohibits state employees from using social media platforms controlled by foreign adversaries on state devices. Senator Anavitarte sponsored both SB 93 and SB 97, emphasizing the need for robust cybersecurity measures.   Story 8: Houck   Colin Houck, a standout athlete at Parkview High School, has consistently exceeded expectations in both baseball and football. As the school's all-time leader in passing yards and touchdowns in football, Houck saved his best performance for his senior season on the baseball field. He received numerous accolades, including being named Daily Post's County Player of the Year and Gatorade National Player of the Year. Despite the scrutiny from scouts, teammates, media, and his own high expectations, Houck thrived and handled the pressure exceptionally well. His impressive statistics, such as a .487 batting average, 50 RBIs, 58 hits, and 58 runs scored, highlight his exceptional performance. Houck attributes his success to eliminating distractions and prioritizing his team. His leadership and achievements have made a lasting impact at Parkview High School.   Story 9: Stripling   Staying with baseball, Landon Stripling, a talented athlete from Parkview High School, demonstrated his ability to adapt and excel on the field during the 2023 season. As a junior, he transitioned from being exclusively a pitcher to also contributing as a hitter, earning him the Pitcher of the Year award. In his senior year, Stripling faced another adjustment when injuries forced him to take on a starting role instead of being the team's closer as originally planned. However, his experience as a starter in previous seasons made the transition smooth. Stripling's impressive statistics, including a 10-3 record, 1.55 ERA, and 68 strikeouts, showcased his pitching prowess. Additionally, he had a remarkable offensive season with a .430 batting average, 13 home runs, and 45 RBIs. Stripling's consistency and dedication to the game earned him recognition as the Gwinnett Dugout Club's Dual Player of the Year. While he has committed to playing college baseball at Texas Tech, he remains open to the possibility of being drafted into Major League Baseball. Stripling remains focused on his development and taking each day as it comes.

AWM PODCAST NETWORK HOME About Lady Tan's Circle of Women: The latest historical novel from New York Times bestselling author Lisa See, inspired by the true story of a woman physician from 15th-century China—perfect for fans of See's classic Snow Flower and the Secret Fan and The Island of Sea Women. According to Confucius, "an educated woman is a worthless woman," but Tan Yunxian—born into an elite family, yet haunted by death, separations, and loneliness—is being raised by her grandparents to be of use. Her grandmother is one of only a handful of female doctors in China, and she teaches Yunxian the pillars of Chinese medicine, the Four Examinations—looking, listening, touching, and asking—something a man can never do with a female patient. From a young age, Yunxian learns about women's illnesses, many of which relate to childbearing, alongside a young midwife-in-training, Meiling. The two girls find fast friendship and a mutual purpose—despite the prohibition that a doctor should never touch blood while a midwife comes in frequent contact with it—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. But when Yunxian is sent into an arranged marriage, her mother-in-law forbids her from seeing Meiling and from helping the women and girls in the household. Yunxian is to act like a proper wife—embroider bound-foot slippers, pluck instruments, recite poetry, give birth to sons, and stay forever within the walls of the family compound, the Garden of Fragrant Delights. How might a woman like Yunxian break free of these traditions, 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? Lady Tan's Circle of Women is 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.

Lisa See joins Carol Fitzgerald to talk about her new novel, LADY TAN'S CIRCLE OF WOMEN, which is a Bookreporter Bets On selection. Lisa explains how she got the idea for this book, inspired by the true story of a woman physician from 15th-century China, which was different from the one she planned to write. She later discovered that Tan Yunxian had written a book, and it had been translated into English. From there, she headed down a rabbit hole of research to ensure that her storytelling was on point. Lisa shares why she writes in the first person and how she strives to get every detail right. She also talks about how women have been viewed in China through the centuries and speaks in-depth about the marriage bed that is in the book, one that she played in as a child in the family store. And for those who want to know what she is writing next, be sure to listen to the end.

Lisa See's twelfth book, Lady Tan's Circle of Women, follows the life of Tan Yunxian, a 15th century doctor during the Ming Dynasty in China (a relatively unheard of concept back then). It explores marriage, motherhood, and medicine through her eyes, as well as the lives of the women around her (midwives, concubines, her powerful mother-in-law, and even the Chinese empress). Lisa joins Marrie Stone to talk about the book, and how her research and writing process changed as a result of the pandemic. She talks about how much she outlines the story before beginning to write, how she approaches the research, how she tackles “cringy” scenes, how she accesses her minor characters, how losing her own mother (the writer Carolyn See) has impacted her subsequent novels, and how she'll approach future writing differently in light of what this book taught her.
