Why read it?

1 author picked The Admiral’s Wife as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book is just really good historical fiction, a page turner I could not put down.

I learned about an era and culture (early 20th century Hong Kong) I knew almost nothing about, and it was woven so well with the modern-day story. The author did a wonderful job with the plot, the history, the emotions, the family dynamics, and the nuance.
