pick“This practice of arranging the marriage of a dead person was uncommon, usually held in order to placate a spirit. A deceased concubine who had produced a son might be officially married to elevate her status to a wife. Or two lovers who died tragically might be united after death. That much I knew. But to marry the living to the dead was a rare and, indeed, dreadful occurrence.”

Laura317 This was an odd book but good. I listened to the Audible version. Hope you like it. 5y
Billypar Really interested in trying this one- I recommended it as a readalong choice recently. 5y
Lostinagoodbook I enjoyed it quite a bit but I wanted to see her with the guy in the end. That happens off page and I was disappointed. Another good book along the same lines is Peony in Love by Lisa See. I like that one even more than this. 5y
