As vacation time approached I was wanting a light mindless read. As I often do, I went looking in the historical fiction genre. I have appreciated Edward Rutherfurd's other books so I decided I would get this one as well.
It was an engaging read. 2500 "pages" on my Kobo settings and just over a week to read it. Despite what the synopsis on the page linked above says, the book really only covers a brief part of the LONG history of China. It starts as the First Opium War is looming and closes with a brief notation about the fall of the Qing Dynasty in the early 20th century.
It is a good read. And just what I needed to start vacation.
