Description

 							
  
  As the 19th century waned, China
began to buck Western Imperialism, Russia was experiencing a revolution, and the nations of the world inched toward the
first global war. With these epic events as the boisterous backdrop, Kathryn Harrison has crafted an ironic, lyrical,
shocking novel about the secret lives of women, the universal search for home, and ultimately, the power we have to
direct the course of our own lives-and the lives of those we love.
  
  The center of The Binding Chair is May
Li-an upper class Chinese woman who, as a child, was subjected to the ancient ritual of foot binding. Exotic and
beautiful, complex and compelling, May Li’s childhood was consumed with preparations for marriage. May accepted
its inevitability, even indulging in romantic fantasies about her potential mate. But when the rich silk merchant to
whom she was delivered turned out to be a sadist, May breaks free from her husband’s house, goes to Shanghai,
changes her name, supports herself as a prostitute, and masters the English language.
  
  May has a plan: to
land a wealthy English husband, procuring for herself security, love, and an escape from her Chinese heritage.
Opportunity arrives in the unlikely form of Arthur Cohen, the Jewish philanthropic brother-in-law of a wealthy
businessman. Arthur goes to the brothel with a specific purpose-to emancipate a victim of foot binding. Instead, he is
utterly captivated by May’s tiny, fleshy appendages and marries her.
  
  May’s affect on the
Cohen family is hypnotic and total. Arthur’s niece, Alice, fixates on her mysterious opium-smoking aunt. Dolly,
her high-strung mother, attempts to squelch their relationship by sending Alice to boarding school in England. The
separation only intensifies Alice and May’s connection. Alice crusades to fix May’s crippled feet. May
crusades to prevent Alice from becoming trapped by the passion that so often ensnares the young. May, Alice finds,
revels in hobbling around on her deformed feet. In turn, Alice is enthralled by the rush of her own life, of new love,
of the exotic. Alice’s and May’s stories are brilliant counterpoints to one another, illustrating that
while two individuals may be born in a different time and place, the profound questions that compel them to spend their
lives searching for answers are universal.
