Those who know more about East Asian history than I do may enjoy this book more. It was difficult to get into, but once I did I enjoyed the story.

I thought I'd be really into this due to the historical aspects but I just wasn't that moved by the story. The Somerset Maugham chapters were a bit dull at times, and the murder trial plot kind of fizzled out. I didn't connect much with the main character either.
