Review:
An excellent, truly engaging novel of high literary merit. Feng tells his story brilliantly, with a great deal of playful ironic distance, choosing foot binding as the means of investigating China's past as a comment on the present.-- "The New Yorker"
The translation by David Wakefield is noteworthy. While he follows Feng's text very closely, ... he strikes the necessary balance between readability and precision. As such, The Three-Inch Golden Lotus will be understood and enjoyed by a broad spectrum of educated readers.-- "China Review International"

This beguiling story is woven around the life of Fragrant Lotus, who has her fee bound in the supreme golden Lotus style when she is six years old. Events in Fragrant Lotus' life twist and unfold in a series of witty and often wicked ironies, obliterating easy distinctions between kindness and cruelty, history ad fable, forgery and authentic work.
