Su abuela es una de las pocas doctoras que hay en China, y enseña a Yunxian los pilares de la medicina, los Cuatro Exámenes —mirar, escuchar, tocar y preguntar—, algo que un hombre nunca puede hacer con una paciente. Desde pequeña, Yunxian aprende sobre remedios herbales y enfermedades femeninas junto a una joven comadrona, Meiling, con quien forja una gran amistad. Pero cuando Yunxian es enviada a un matrimonio concertado, su suegra le prohíbe verla y ayudar a las mujeres y niñas de la casa, pues debe cumplir con sus deberes de esposa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e*NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!*\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom “one of those special writers capable of delivering both poetry and plot” (\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e) an immersive historical novel inspired by the true story of a woman physician in 15th-century China—perfect for fans of Lisa See’s classics \u003ci\u003eSnow Flower and the Secret Fan\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eTea Girl of Hummingbird Lane.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccording 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 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. \u003ci\u003eNo mud, no lotus\u003c\/i\u003e, they tell themselves: from adversity beauty can bloom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut 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, recite poetry, give birth to sons, and stay forever within the walls of the family compound, the Garden of Fragrant Delights.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow might a woman like Yunxian break free of these traditions 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? A captivating story of women helping each other, \u003ci\u003eLady Tan’s Circle of Women \u003c\/i\u003eis a triumphant reimagining of the life of one person who was remarkable in the Ming dynasty and would be considered remarkable today.","brand":"Debolsillo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47294223253759,"sku":"9788466361347","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9788466361347_s600x595.jpg?v=1779817937","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9788466361347","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
