An engaging and poignant story about the violent treatment of Chinese immigrants on the North American West Coast in the late 19th century. In the current time, Inara revisits her late aunt's SJI estate and finds Mei's intricate embroidery hidden in the staircase. Uncovering the story behind Mei's long-forgotten handiwork leads to tragic discoveries about Inara's family and the opportunity for her to make things right. ( ) 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. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
