The story is set in the Qing dynasty
Five daughters came forth to celebrate their father’s 60th birthday armed with twin missions
To prepare a lavish banquet featuring the famous hairy crab delicacy and to set up an all-women poetry club
Clearly literacy inspired them to think far beyond the confines of their traditional female sphere.
Words are seasoned with wit and sautéed with hidden emotions as they prepare their menu of love.
Beautifully revealed in each dialogue are rich interpretative possibilities as well as meaningful contrasts.
Take the calligraphic journey and experience this feast of crabs, flowers and literature.
