Helpful Score: 3
I'm giving this five stars because I thoroughly enjoyed this story. It is a very gentle story about very serious subject matter. Instead of dwelling on the negatives, it follows people who lived and loved during desperate times. Insight into Shanghai welcoming Jewish people fleeing Nazi regime and also into Eastern medicine. Wong's writing flows easily and enjoyably. Received book through goodreads.com contest with expectation of an unbiased review.
