The story flips between the besieged legation quarter during the Boxer rebellion and two decades later in 1975

It wasn't until much later in the day that another official message arrived from the palace. It was regretted that Baron von Ketteler had met his death at the hands of the brigands. Perhaps the Baroness would be please to know that an elaborate coffin was being made for his burial.

You liking this one? I'm wondering if I should move Dorothy Eden higher on my TBR wishlist.

It's good, but not earth shattering. I like Eden though, she's always a good solid comfort read kind of author.
I will make an effort to find some, then. (Maybe use a couple shiny new PBS points? Woot. :D)Victoria Holt has that effect on me. And, shamefully, Anna Godbersen. >__>
I like VH, but she does get formulaic after a while. Eden seems to shake things up. I like her American Heiress and Speak of me of Love best so far, but I've barely scratched the surface. She seems rather prolific.
Agreed about VH's formula. She's best taken in small, widely-spaced doses. :DWill definitely look to aquire American Heiress, as that's already on my wishlist. I'm also interested in this one -- that whole timeslip/manuscript/family secret stuff always seems to ring my reading bell.
