Discussion Question

"What I remember most is my mother's face. Of course, as a daughter I believed she was pretty, but i saw her true person for the first time that day. I had always known she had been born in the year of the monkey, but i'd never realized that its traits of deciet and cunning ran so strongly in her. Something conniving lay veiled behind her dark eyes... I would say that something like male ambition glowed right though her skin."

alright and the question is....

How does Lily's mother play a role in the story? Does Snow Flower's mother have as strong or importnant as a role? How does Lily's mother change her and the story throughout the book? Why would "male ambition" be a bad thing in a woman?
