Summary

From the internationally best-selling author of The Mask of Time and The Original Sin  

As World War II rages, Francine Lawrence and her small daughter, Ruth, wait in the fading splendor of Raffles Hotel in Singapore for Francine's British husband. But when he is delayed, Francine, half-Chinese and unwelcome there, is forced to begin a terrifying journey. Seeking to escape a world exploding in nightmare, Francine ultimately makes a gut-wrenching decision: to entrust Ruth to strangers in order to save the child's life. But when the war ends, all traces of Ruth have vanished; years of searching bring only heartbreak.

Three decades later, Francine is a formidable businesswoman, pouring all her energies into her companies. Then one day a soft-spoken young woman walks into her New York office on the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts. Her name is Sakura, and she hints that she may be Francine's daughter. What Francine does not know is that beneath Sakura's calm surface lives the heart of a warrior. Francine cannot begin to imagine the places Sakura has been, the horrors she has endured - or the secret that gives her the strongest motive in the world to lie....

The story started well but I soon got bored and started listening to it at a faster speed ! I did manage to finish it but for me it was far too lengthy and drawn out.

Long winded

I mostly loved this. I really love this author but despite starting well and having me hooked initially I found the last quarter a little hard work.

A note re the recording - The audible recording also doesn’t differentiate between scenes / characters. I kept thinking my mind had wondered and I’d missed a bit where it changed from one characters perspective to another, so I’d rewind, only to find it literally flows with no break at all from one to the other - a bit confusing!
