This is a good read in the Gabaldon tradition; well developed characters, believeable in their settings. I especially enjoyed the unusual time period and locale that is the setting for this novel--pre-Communist revolutionary China in 1928, against the background of expat White Russians who fled from the 1917 revolution in Russia and are now in the midst of the same fever in China.

The Russian Concubine is a moving tale of a young russian girl who meets a chinese boy and falls in love despite the objections and dangers involved with their relationship. This is an amazing tale of love, loss and poverty and will tug at your heartstrings, make you cringe with disgust, and keep you engaged from cover to cover.
It's been a long time since I've found a book that I couldn't put down. This one did it for me and is now near the top of my favorites list.

This story is set in the 20's when Mao and Chiang Kai-shek are battling it out for China. At first I thought it was just a book about puppy love and a willfull, spoiled girl but then it got better and better and better.
