内容简介
It is the 1930s in China and Lotus, a young college student, is forced by her father's death to give up her studies and marry into wealth.
Raise The Red Lantern is her hauntingly beautiful, nightmarish tale, as she grapples with the daily injustices of yielding to the demands of a husband she doesn't love. It explores a world where relationships rarely reach fruition, as emotionally stunted men thoughtlessly destroy the women in their lives, and the women trun on each other in their frustration. But Lotus is defiant and presumptuous and has the shocking audacity to be good at-and actually enjoy-sex. Insanity begins to emerge as both a weapon and a refuge as the claustrophobic tensions of the rural clan house reach breaking point...
