| To be honest, I’d forgotten about Karin Slaughter. Then I spotted this book and downloaded it. Now I’m thinking I have to go back and read all the ones I missed. She is a master of the craft of storytelling. Brava! 🙌 | |

| From the first page of a Philippa Gregory novel, you know that you’re in the hands of a masterful storyteller and meticulous researcher. And this is one of her very best. I loved the fact that she looked at well trodden history through the eyes of a ...more | |

“They want us to be small, so we have to stand tall. They want us to be invisible, so we have to be seen. They want us to be quiet, so we have to be heard. They want us to surrender, so we have to fight.”

“No woman is anyone’s “other half”. We are all entire people. Completely whole, and totally unique. But sometimes when you put two very different whole people together, a kind of magic, an alchemy, occurs.”

“When we first come here in 1973, two men came to restaurant and say, ‘Go back to China and take your filthy, foreign food with you.’ I say, ‘You are angry. Anger comes from stomach. Sit. I bring you soup. For free. It will make you feel better.’ They ate my wonton soup. Recipe from my grandmother. They have been customers of restaurant for forty years. Meet force with softness. Recipe for life. Now you understand.” And, strangely, he did.”
