Book Discussion Group - The Lotus Shoes

Step into the story of The Lotus Shoes at Sheepshead Bay Library on July 18th, 2025, for an engaging book discussion! 

This month, we're diving into “The Lotus Shoes”, 

“1800s China. Tightly bound feet, or "golden lilies," are the mark of an honorable woman, eclipsing beauty, a rich dowry and even bloodline in the marriage stakes. When Little Flower is sold as a maidservant to Linjing, a daughter of the prominent Fong family, she clings to the hope that one day her golden lilies will lead her out of slavery. Not only does Little Flower have bound feet, uncommon for a muizai, but she is extraordinarily gifted at embroidery, a skill associated with the highest class of a lady. Resentful of her talents, Linjing does everything in her power to thwart Little Flower's escape.”
