Thanks for all the lovely books and other presents!

Sisters Three, Five and Six don't have much education, but they know two things for certain: their mother is a failure because she hasn't produced a son, and they only merit a number as a name. Women, their father tells them, are like chopsticks: utilitarian and easily broken.

But when they leave their home in the countryside to seek their fortune in the big city, their eyes are suddenly and shockingly opened. Together they find jobs, make new friends, and learn more than a few lessons about life...

I really enjoyed this, I like the way Xinran writes, reminds me of fairy tales or folklore but there’s a lot that’s very down to earth and practical. It’s a novel but biographical, based on the stories of three women who weren’t sisters.
