Then the local matchmaker delivers startling news: if Lily's feet are bound properly, they will be flawless.

Lily now has the power to make a good marriage and change the fortunes of her family.

"Lily is haunted by memories--of who she once was, and of a person, long gone, who defined her existence. She has nothing but time now, as she recounts the tale of Snow Flower, and asks the gods for forgiveness. In nineteenth-century China, when wives and daughters were foot-bound and lived in almost total seclusion, the women in one remote Hunan county developed their own secret code for communication: nu shu ("women's writing"). They painted letters on fans, embroidered messages on handkerchiefs, and composed stories, thereby reaching out of their isolation to share their hopes, dreams, and accomplishments. With the arrival of a silk fan on which Snow Flower has composed for Lily a poem of introduction in nu shu, their friendship is sealed and they become "old sames" at the tender age of seven. As the years pass, through famine and rebellion, they reflect upon their arranged marriages, loneliness, and the joys and tragedies of motherhood. The two find solace, developing a bond that keeps their spirits alive. But when a misunderstanding arises, their lifelong friendship suddenly threatens to tear apart."@en

Und Lilie lernt die lebensentscheidenden Lektionen einer Frau: Sie muss gehorchen, sie muss Schmerzen erdulden für die Schönheit, und sie kann nur im Leiden Frieden finden.

Und eines Tages erhält sie einen Brief von Schneerose, einem Mädchen aus reichem Haus. Eine lebenslange Freundschaft beginnt, die tragisch endet.
