“Excellent, as I expected from Lisa See. I didn't like it quite as much as Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, but I enjoyed it quite a bit. Very well researched.”
“Even better than her debut novel!”
“Not her best.”
“Nice light read. Formulaic and predictable but fun to read.”
“I would have liked a little more ghost story and a little less love story.”
“Quick read, good writing, but found myself waiting for the real action to begin throughout the whole book.”
“The writing was wonderful, but there were only one or two likable characters in the novel. The narrator, Truly, was hard to sympathize with at times.”
“Fun escapist fiction.”
“Great spy novel. Better than the excellent first in the Gabriel Allon series.”
“Russo did an excellent job at characterization in this novel. I'm from a small former mill town in NC, and he definitely did his research into the dynamic of a place past its prime. The most interesting aspect of this title is how well Russo described the characters' views of each other, however unfair they may be.”
