"In the month after 16-year-old Maggie Chen's father, a respected
journalist, was killed in a hit-and-run accident, a basement flood
destroys his notebooks...Ingold relies on some contrivance to link
her plot strands, but the openended conclusion feels realistic and
highlights Maggie's elemental questions about how family history
influences personal identity and how life moves forward after
impossible loss."--Booklist
"Ingold (Hitch) weaves together two intersecting stories in this
novel about identity and family...Though the historical chapters
start slower, as Fai-yi's story builds, so does the tension and
drama, especially his emotionally fraught relationship with his
sister and star-crossed love...Ingold offers insight into the
sacrifices and secrets involved in emigration from China during
this period and their ripple effects."--Publishers Weekly
"This novel is a must read for those who love mysteries and family
history."--VOYA
