Customer Reviews

Good

The official review says most of what I can say. Despite China Silk's various defects(thin characterizations, wallpapery settings and crazy inprobable yet predictable twists in the plot), the book is charming. Plus, we rarely see a romance novel(as the US defines it) set in the 1920s. The love scenes are rather tame, but the results are ultimately satisfying. If you're looking for a meaty, emotional read, you won't find it here, but China Silk is a decent way to pass the time.
