Struck a note with me!

Have 2 copies, one to keep, one to share. Spent hours in Museum of Asias at Smithsonian looking an ancient Chinese bronzes. Am fascinated with Lowell's portrayals of Chinese politics in all her books. They just feel so spot on. And I love the detail and imagination she uses in her descriptions of art objects.

Reissue from 1986, but good

Just a heads-up--this is not a new book. It was originally published in 1986. A nice balance of romance and action, it reminds me most of Lowell's Donovan series (Amber Beach/Jade Island/Pearl Cove/Midnight in Ruby Bayou).

Beautiful And Steamy

If you love action, drama, suspense and steamy love scenes, then this book is perfect. Lowell doesn't skip a beat! I have read this book three times already and still can't get enough of it! Not only does she put in a love story, it isn't what dominates the novel. One learns interesting and new facts about Bronzes and international trade and relations. With all the new facts you learn, you'll be rewarded many times over. A must read!

A true gem! Love this book.

A wonderful book that provides hours of enjoyment. I got it when it first came out, and have reread it whenever I need a romantic literary boost and nothing new has come out. Love the depth of character and setting output (sorry, correct word escapes me), and the amount of knowledge, both artistic and cultural, that she gives. Fantastic! Would like to see a book developed on Sam Wang. Anyone who could create a dragon of such superb workmanship would be as fascinating in his own right as Catlin. Love any and all her books, be they as Elizabeth Lowell, Ann Maxwell, or A.E.Maxwell. Wish the Fiddler series would have continued. Didn't really end, to my way of reading. The several series she has developed, with character continuations, are greatly enjoyed. Love her work and am looking forward to the next Donovan, or other, book.

I love this book!!

I am currently reading each of E.L's novels one by one. I consider this one, one of the best so far. I couldn't wait to see what happened next and how Lindsay was going to handle the situations she was put in. There were so many sub-plots going on with all the governmental officials and with Lindsay and Catlin, it really kept me reading on. Of course, I found the romance between Lindsay and Catlin exciting. It truely enhanced the story instead of being the whole focus of it. I finished this book in two days and could have gone on for more. I feel this book was written very well with intelligent characters, developed plots and insights into the chinese culture. I hope I'll discover another one of E.L's books that is as entertaining and long (457 pages) as this one. Kudos to the author!
