rachreads925 's review for:

The Bohemians by Jasmin Darznik

3.0

---

This is a fascinating story of Dorothea Lange, of a time period and with a great sense of place. The writing is beautiful, but despite all of that there wasn't anything compelling me to pick it up for so much of it. The second half was more fast paced, but the first part dragged. I learned so much from this book: about Dorothea Lange, about the history of San Francisco, and the Anti-Asian laws of the 1920s through the character of Caroline Lee. I would recommend it still though. I look forward to reading what Jasmin Darznik writes next, as I loved her first one as well.

Thank you to Ballantine Books for an advanced copy of the book.
