The Blood of Flowers

This book is not bad, but not truly remarkable either. It's the same basic Cinderella story-with-a-twist that is good fodder for book clubs. Compare to Memoirs of a Geisha and Snow Flower and the Secret Fan. Completely likable. I did enjoy the character's journey, the complicated nature of her Uncle's love for her, and the historical details about 17th century Persia.
