Three separate story lines that wind and twist together...the back of the book talks about Tom Stewart, an English ex-pat, who first comes to China in the 1920's. And yes, the book starts with him in the prologue, but the first section with Dawn Stone too me by surprise. I got very caught up in the second section, which jumps back to Stewart and brings in the fascinating character of Sister Maria. What an interesting relationship...
Anyhow, I enjoyed the book, learned a bit, and liked the author's writing. I felt a bit cut short at the end, but not enough to not recommend this book to others. Will bring to our meetup on Sunday.
