"I finally understand what the poets have written. In spring, moved to passion; in autumn only regret." For young Peony, betrothed to a suitor she has never met, these lyrics from The Peony Pavilion mirror her own longings. In the garden of the Chen Family Villa, amid the scent of ginger, green tea, and jasmine, a small theatrical troupe is performing scenes from this epic opera, a live spectacle few females have ever seen. Like the heroine in the drama, Peony is the cloistered daughter of a wealthy family, trapped like a good-luck cricket in a bamboo-and-lacquer cage. Though raised to be obedient, Peony has dreams of her own. Peony's mother is against her daughter's attending the production: "Unmarried girls should not be seen in public." But Peony's father assures his wife that proprieties will be maintained, and that the women will watch the opera from behind a screen. Yet through its cracks, Peony catches sight of an elegant, handsome man with hair as black as a cave-and is immediately overcome with emotion. So begins Peony's unforgettable journey of love and destiny, desire and sorrow-as Lisa See's haunting new novel, based on actual historical events, takes readers back to seventeenth-century China, after the Manchus seize power and the Ming dynasty is crushed. Steeped in traditions and ritual, this story brings to life another time and place-even the intricate realm of the afterworld, with its protocols, pathways, and stages of existence, a vividly imagined place where one's soul is divided into three, ancestors offer guidance, misdeeds are punished, and hungry ghosts wander the earth. Immersed in the richness and magic of the Chinese vision of the afterlife, transcending even death, Peony in Love explores, beautifully, the many manifestations of love. Ultimately, Lisa See's new novel addresses universal themes: the bonds of friendship, the power of words, and the age-old desire of women to be heard.Binding Type: Paperback

ORIGINAL REVIEW, OCT 2025:
So far this little oven is doing great. Right now it's 4 stars but has the potential to change as I use it more often, right now I've only used it a handful of times.
Heats up quickly so there's no growing old while waiting for preheating, a definite plus. The air fry option is super quiet, way more quiet than any air fryer I've ever had. Downside is there is no way to adjust temp for this setting so you really have to keep an eye on the food to see when it's done.
DO NOT USE PARCHMENT PAPER IN THIS OVEN! I made that mistake because I use it in my regular full size oven as well as my old air fryer, but it's not compatible with this oven! I almost started a fire! Good thing I didn't walk away from it.
I like that there's a timer feature so it will shut off, very helpful in times you are in the middle of something else at the same time and this avoids your food getting burnt. There's also a stay on feature in case you prefer that. For the timer you have to make sure you pass the 10 minute mark and then set it to the time you want.
The oven is smaller than I expected. I don't know yet if a pizza will actually fit, I'll update when I attempt it. I've only made English muffin pizzas and French bread pizzas so far.
One thing I really like about this oven is that it tends to cook food evenly. I've had toaster ovens that cook more on one side than the other and more on top than the bottom and it's frustrating! The stuff I've made in this oven were nice and crispy both on top and the bottom and it's so nice to not have pizza that's burnt on top and mushy on the bottom! I'm glad finally a manufacturer figured this out.
This toasts really nice too. Watch the time with this. My bread got toasted way faster than with my old one!
Overall I'm happy with this. I'll update as necessary.
