This book was easily a 5 star plus read. It was highly readable, a page turner, and quite an adventure. I loved its basis in history during such a tumultuous time for China and the world.
The main characters, Jinhua and Suyin, were lovable, and I felt for each of them from the very beginning. "The Courtesan" was a tale of loyalty and friendship and sacrifice. Curry's descriptions of each period of time were rich and colorful. Jinhua's story was fascinating.
I highly recommend this to fans of historical fiction and also for fans of fiction who love a beautifully told story.
I never got chance to win this book through Readers First but I’m slowly making my way through the past books list to read and review! I loved this book so much and have recommended it to my friends and also gifted a e copy to my mother. She has already finished it within a day and loved it too!
