Description
Sisters Three, Five and Six live with their mother in the countryside, where they are told that women are like chopsticks: utilitarian and easily broken. Their father's words leave them feeling unvalued and unwanted.
When they decide to seek their fortune in the big city, their lives are forever changed. Together, they find jobs, make new friends, and discover more about themselves than they ever thought possible.
This powerful and poignant novel explores the complexities of family relationships, identity, and the struggles of women in a society that often undervalues them.
