Publisher's summary
From bestselling authors Janie Chang and Kate Quinn, a thrilling and unforgettable narrative about the intertwined lives of two wronged women, spanning from the chaos of the San Francisco earthquake to the glittering palaces of Versailles.
San Francisco, 1906. In a city bustling with newly minted millionaires and scheming upstarts, two very different women hope to change their fortunes: Gemma, a golden-haired, silver-voiced soprano whose career desperately needs rekindling, and Suling, a petite and resolute Chinatown embroideress who is determined to escape an arranged marriage. Their paths cross when they are drawn into the orbit of Henry Thornton, a charming railroad magnate whose extraordinary collection of Chinese antiques includes the fabled Phoenix Crown, a legendary relic of Beijing’s fallen Summer Palace.
His patronage offers Gemma and Suling the chance of a lifetime, but their lives are thrown into turmoil when a devastating earthquake rips San Francisco apart and Thornton disappears, leaving behind a mystery reaching further than anyone could have imagined . . . until the Phoenix Crown reappears five years later at a sumptuous Paris costume ball, drawing Gemma and Suling together in one last desperate quest for justice.

When Heather McKinley dreamed of becoming a doctor, she imagined curing sick kids and sporting pink stethoscopes. She never anticipated the sleepless nights, grueling exams, and endless labs.

A Queen of the Night
There’s a lot to love about this jewel of a book, showing a more full picture of the San Francisco earthquake than I’ve read to date. I loved everything about it, from the pitch perfect narrations, to China Town and all its accoutrements and personalities, to the Opera, to the wickedness of mankind and loveliness of friends and strangers. The authors’ notes really surprised me, too—I didn’t expect so much to be based on truth! (And it helped me understand why the technical parts of the opera portrayal were so accurate, 👏).

It was Ok.
I didn't like the narration of Reggie's character highly accented to the point of distraction and I didnt like her characterat all. Saskia's narration was great, even though I didn't like the characters or their personal stories. They seemed a bit sappy wavering back and forth. Alice and George were the best. The story itself was ok. I didn't like that it had a part 2 for 5 years later. As much as I love Kate Quinn books I was a little disappointed.

I Wanted To Love This Book
I am big Kate Quinn fan. I have read all her books and love the great details, character development and twists and turns along the way. The time period and setting of a countdown to the SF earthquake is exciting and I so wanted to love this book. I didn't care about any of the characters as I normally do in her books. The storyline didn't have its usual twists and turns. I liked the book but didn't love it.

Kate Quinn— the queen!
Another great one by Kate and my first exposure to Janie Chang. A beautiful story with complex characters woven together in phenomenal fashion.

Kate Quinn and new to me author did a great job
While the story was a little thin, I thought— compared to other Kate Quinn books, it was still an enrapturing story about a time period that I knew not much about —the San Francisco earthquake & the early part of the 1900s. I love the four strong women in the story, and wish there was a little more development of each of them.

Interesting story about the San Francisco earthquake
A very good story with historical details I didn’t know. Very engaging. I have read other books by the same author and I like her style and narrative.
