Fragrant Harbor by John Lanchester
informative
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? No
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
3.5
This was our April Book club pick.
It's a historical fiction about a man who travels to Hong Kong. I wouldn't say that I enjoyed reading this one and would have put it down after a few chapters. The only reason I didn't was that it was for my book club. But after I while it did pick up a bit. I liked learning about Hong Kong and what went on there as most of this is based on true events.
Ok read. 3/5 stars
