    <body><![CDATA[This story takes place in San Fransisco during the gold rush. I hated it at first because the herione was such a whiny idiot, she but eventually grows up. This book solidified(once again) my belief that the past was miserable and hard and full of inconvenience and disease. But the book was very read...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/62366307">more...</a>]]></body>

I have read this book at least four or five times over the years.<br/><br/>It's a romance, set in San Francisco during the gold rush.  Lots of fires, there's a casino, and ...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I've read this book at least once every 5 years since I first found it in about 1978/79. It's an awesome story that makes you feel like you're on an adventure. Step back in time to the California Goldrush, the first settlers in San Francisco, a time warp with a little romance and a lot of action.]]></body>

It included very long boring details about what ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22519543">more...</a>]]></body>
