I’ll cut straight to the chase… The Phoenix Crown is a must–read for historical fiction lovers and, really, just about anyone who loves reading strong female characters.
From this novel’s opening page, I was captivated by Kate Quinn and Janie Chang’s strikingly evocative narrative.

Enjoyable book focusing on 4 women who encounter a man just before the SF earthquake. Even though it was a major event I have not read much about it but this was an interesting story. I especially loved that Alice was actually a real person. Some nice twists and turns.
Great detail of a fascinating period. Liked the dual authors' note at the end as well.
