gfalconeiri 's review for:

4.0

This is the third Lisa See book I’ve read and I find that I always learn something in reading her novels. They are often about places/time periods I’m less familiar with, and are incredibly well researched.

A lot of “typical” Lisa See elements are in this book as well - a story that spans multiple decades/generations of a family, a core female friendship that is tested by tragedy, a unique job/lifestyle for the protagonist.

Overall a good first book of the year!
