Inspired by true events, yes, but she mangles some of the history to be more dramatic. When the actual, racial tensions against the Chinese Americans during this period would have provided plenty. ( ) It was a wonderful read that really drew me in. The connections of the modern day characters was a little too much of a stretch for me and the conflict resolution toward the end was a bit too easy/not realistic. I did love that there are some aspects of the past that the reader knows about that the modern day characters don't figure out. Puget Sound is the setting of this novel and one of my favorite places. The story goes back and forth from the late 1800s to today. The historical parts of the book were more captivating. There's a lot going on with mystery, action, history, romance, and racism. Perfect for those wanting a quick read with just enough depth to keep it interesting. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
