Have not read much historical fiction about the gold rush.  Loved the story and tenacity of the main character, I would have given it 5 stars but the ending was a little disappointing for me.

The kind of book I would have looooooved when I was 16. Women disguised as men, riding through the Gold Rush Californian wilderness? Heck yes.

Read the Spanish version. I much preferred Casa de los Espiritus, but all the same I'm wooed by Allende's talent.
