This is a book read in one of my book clubs. I did enjoy it and learned a lot from it. However, it was not a book that was particularly "discussable." One of my friends in the club said that it is considered Historical Anthropology, which is interesting, but I am not sure a real categorization in literature. But that is not important.
Here is a good synopsis of the theme: Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane paints an unforgettable portrait of a little-known region of China and its people and celebrates the bond that connects mothers and daughters.
There is lots to learn about tea, too! The story is somewhat predictable however, which bothered me at the end. But I am not sorry that I read it. I just didn't feel like there was much to discuss. In a book club book, I like to have conversations about the book, more than this lent itself to.
