Book Review – Pearl Moon

on April 23, 2011

Written and sent in by Cathy:

 

This is the book that I received as my prize in the February giveaway… and wow it sure was a great read.  Having only ever read one book by Katherine Stone, and I loved every word of it, I had high expectations of this one…. and it didn’t disappoint.  I gobbled it up and was actually quite sad when I finished it.  Katherine Stone writes in such an easy style that you don’t even notice how many pages you read at a time and then discover you’re halfway through already!

The story revolves around two sisters who don’t know they are sisters… their father… the one’s mother and then a few grandparents and significant others thrown in…. It’s four love stories that are intertwined and set in the booming city of Hong Kong in 1994, around the building of a hotel building.

The book might be “fluffy” and “chick lit” but it definitely makes you question your prejudices and the reasons why we sometimes think like we do.  Well worth the read.

 

Thanks Cathy, I am so glad you enjoyed it!
