Dojímavý román nás zavedie do Číny 19. storočia. Dievčatá v Číne prechádzali drastickou zkúškou podväzovania chodidiel a ako ženy boli odsúdené žiť v izolácii. Preto sa dorozumievajú tajným písmom nu-šu, ktoré muži nepoznajú, preto hľadajú priateľku na celý život, spriaznenú dušu, svoje druhé ja, tzv. laotong. Maľujú svoje odkazy štetcom do vejárov a vyšívajú ich na hodváb. Taký je i osud Lili. Ona a jej kamarádka Snežný kvietok odchádzajú z rodnej dediny a nasledujú svojich mužov. Prvé milostné skúsenosti, postavenie v novej domácnosti, rodinné tragédie, sedliacka vzbura a hladomor, to všetko sa odráža v ich dôverných vzkazoch. Kniha nabitá lyrizmom a emóciami, ktoré prenikajú do jedného z najtajomnejších vzťahov, akým je priateľstvo medzi ženami.
