Excellent storyline and research.
We see Celia in the opening chapter drugged and in a cell with no idea how she got there.
We then meet Celia as a housekeeper in a wealthy family and a predicament that has her being removed from the home.
THE GIRLS OF GOOD FORTUNE takes us back and forth from Celia's time before the imprisonment and during the imprisonment at a time when there was anti-Chinese sentiment.
It is a bit confusing at first with the two timelines, but both are so well done that they pull you right in.
This is another Kristina McMorris gem that you won't be able to put down, and you will feel for every heartache Celia endures.
I do wish Celia would have made different decisions with some of her predicaments.
Don't miss this one even though it is a bit of heavy reading and at times intense, but an excellent historical fiction read that will keep you glued to the pages. 5/5
Thank you to the publisher for a copy of the book. All opinions are my own.
Have you read this book?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping.
I didn't think it would end as well as it did after all the things that go wrong.
ReplyDeleteYes...so many things went wrong.
DeleteSome of the situations she got out of were a bit unbelievable, but I enjoyed the book.
Thanks for commenting, Kathryn.
