"One of the reasons for writing this book is to draw attention to the urgent necessity for the immediate adoption of efficient methods of protecting Moutan peonies in their natural habitat." -- P. 15. "In the Far East the tree peony is the flower at the head of the floral hierarchy, and is an important part of Chinese and Japanese cultural heritage.... This is the first time that photographs and descriptions of tree peonies found by the author growing wild on the Chinese mountains have been published.... The tree peony is difficult to propagate but, once established, it is practically indestructible...." -- Dust jacket.

Peony has neither seen nor spoken to any man other than her father, a wealthy Chinese nobleman. Nor has she ever ventured outside the cloistered women's quarters of the family villa. As her sixteenth birthday approaches she finds herself betrothed to a man she does not know, but Peony has dreams of her own. Her father engages a theatrical troupe to perform scenes from The Peony Pavilion, a Chinese epic opera, in their garden amidst the scent of ginger, green tea and jasmine. 'Unmarried girls should not be seen in public,' says Peony's mother, but her father allows the women to watch from behind a screen. Here, Peony catches sight of an elegant, handsome man and is immediately bewitched. So begins her unforgettable journey of love, desire, sorrow and redemption.
