    <body><![CDATA[A vividly imagined and charming retelling of the Wizard of Oz, with a liberal pinch of sci-fi thrown in the mix.

    <body><![CDATA[This book gave me a taste for Karen Joy Fowler's books that was long unsatisfied (until I found her next book some four years later!).

    <body><![CDATA[Karen Joy Fowler's other works include science fiction stories and the &quot;Jane Austen Book Club.&quot;  What!?!  Quite a range for an author....I enjoyed this book during a recent trip back to the great northwest.  Lots of local color, strange postmodern historical returns, and even a brief plot ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/42621947">more...</a>]]></body>

Chin Ah Kin is a Chinese railway worker in the Washington Territory in the late 1800s. A mysterious, seemingly mad, white woman appears, and Chin becomes her caretaker on a journey to find an as...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2707170">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Fascinating look into the Pacific Northwest during the railroad building days.  The story is about a young Chinese man trying to understand himself as well as the new American culture.
