 I always think of myself as a reader not that interested in historical fiction until I read books that remind me that I *do* like historical fiction. Partially set in a time in history I haven't read many perspectives of is always a bonus, and that was the case here - the impact of country, politics, and position on the lives of these people through many decades and changes, from Shanghai to Hong Kong, Taiwan, New York, California. This was engaging, heartbreaking, hopeful.

This book passed the time just fine, but was my least favorite of the three so far. Still invested and looking forward to the next one!

Reads like Fitzgerald fan fiction, which I didn’t mind. Feels a little overwritten in spots but passed the time just fine

I felt like crying through a lot of this book. Kids and life can be so cruel.

This is one of the few instances where I saw the movie before I read the book. The books captivated me, I lost a whole weekend to it over winter break in college.

I remember getting this book in a hard back special edition when I was a young girl. I treasure it to this day. I loved the March family.
