Wonderful collaborative (spreadsheets!) research by the authors that lends authenticity to this work. Themes of subjugation, misogyny, racism and the contemporaneous culture of power elevate this book above other works of historical fiction.

Not the most exciting of books by this author. But they’re always informative which I appreciate. I didn’t know anything about the San Francisco earthquake and now I do! I love the way they came up with the idea of the story by linking an artist with the friends she painted. So cool.

Really enjoyed the storytelling that wove the fictional and non-fictional people and events surrounding the 1906 SF earthquake.
