“This book is the sequel to "The Russian Concubine". I enjoyed both books. The Girl from Junchow, is a book that has a good plot and lots of action.”

“In this sequel to The Russian Concubine, Lydia Ivanova continues to find herself in situations that would send normal seventeen year-old women hurrying home to safety. But Lydia is on a mission to find her father, held in a Russian prison camp, and is not deterred by cold, hunger, or danger. The Red Army soldiers, the Russian mob, nor the discovery of betrayal to the secret police stops Lydia and her friends from stepping past the razor wire into the very midst of evil. ”

It is the sequel of "The Russian Concubine" (in UK). That one, I rated 5 stars and favorite, this one is another 5 stars. However, I think it's not quite as good as the first book, but still a good read.
In this sequel, Lydia leaves China and heads for Russia to look for a family member who was put in a labor camp. Her two helpers are Liev Popkov, who protected her in China, and another family member. They travel through the whole of Russia and add a few more people to their company.
They bribe, beg, and threaten to get the information they want. Meanwhile Lydia's love of her life, Chang An Lo, is not far away.
Although there is some (too much?) violence in the book, things go more smoothly than you may expect in real life. People that are presumed dead turn out to be merely wounded and soon stand up from their bed again.
I think this book will be nice for people who have read the first part. Otherwise, not sure you should bother.”
