Book Synopsis White Lily by : Ting-Xing Ye

Download or read book White Lily written by Ting-Xing Ye. This book was released on 2011-02-18. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly a century ago, in the Forbidden City, China’s last emperor reigned from his dragon throne. Although he was only a boy, the imperial decrees issued in his name echoed in every corner of the country. Every man had to shave his head and wear a single pigtail to symbolize his submission to the emperor, and every woman was second in importance to the men in her family. Women were obedient to their fathers and brothers and later to the husbands in their arranged marriages. Certainly no woman was encouraged to attend school or to show any independence. Into this world, in a village in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, White Lily was born. She had a happy childhood, running and playing, until, at the age of four, she was forced to undergo the painful procedure of foot binding required for all females of her social class. But White Lily has her heart set on more than a traditional role in society, and she enlists the support of her beloved elder brother. Together they devise a plan to defy tradition and convince their father that White Lily’s feet and mind must be allowed to grow.

Book Synopsis Pursuit of the Golden Lily by : R. Emery

Download or read book Pursuit of the Golden Lily written by R. Emery. This book was released on 2016-05-22. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rose Jamieson is a writer whose day job doesn't involve much risk. But then her dying father asks her to identify an enigmatic stranger he'd encountered in Thailand in World War II and bequeaths her his wartime diary, which contains a cryptic riddle. Drawn in by the mystery, Rose leaves her home in Canada for Southeast Asia and begins to retrace her parents' wartime journeys through Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. That's when she finds the map. Hidden in an ancient Buddhist temple, it confirms the rumors she's heard about a secret Imperial Japanese operation called the Golden Lily. Suddenly, her promise to her father transforms into a hunt for billions of dollars' worth of gold, jewels, and other valuables. Yet she's not the only one looking for the treasure. Thrown together with an unforgettable cast of characters-including a Scottish museum curator and his beautiful Japanese lover, a corrupt Mafia don, and a quirky, ex-CIA American-Rose is on a journey she's never going to forget. Inspired by the author's true story of finding her British father's POW diary and following in his footstep, Pursuit of the Golden Lily is brimming with adventure, romance, and intrigue.
