“You are my angel and my damnation; in your presence, I reach divine ecstasy and in your absence I descent to hell.”
Set in 1849, a delightfully rich story about a pregnant young woman from Chile who traveled to California during the Gold Rush to find her lover. I enjoyed all the historical context from Chile to China to California. The side characters are all interesting as well. Epic tale.
