Review: Exciting Singapore-set epic
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 16, 2014
I picked this book up because I used to live in Singapore, but I honestly didn't know what to expect.  It's got shades of Memoirs of a Geisha, as well as some other gripping drama and action,  Yu-Lin is a really great character, and you really feel the plight.  The writing is evocative, but I got annoyed at some of the editing.  It could use another editorial pass.  Otherwise, exciting and enriching book!
