Alex Kanenwisher, book buyer at Costco, has selected Lady Tan's Circle of Women by Lisa See (Scribner, $28, 9781982117085) as the pick for June. In Costco Connection, which goes to many of the warehouse club's members, Kanenwisher writes:
"Until science gives us a time machine, books are the next best option to step into the past. Lisa See's Lady Tan's Circle of Women does just that, transporting readers to 15th century China.
"Tan Yunxian, who is born into an elite family, learns about women's illnesses under the tutelage of her grandmother. But when she is sent into an arranged marriage, she must play the part of a good wife and leave her medical pursuits behind."
