review 1: All I can say is, "WOW"! I haven't read a book with this many twists and turns in a long time! Just when you think you have had the last surprise, the author throws in another one! I must admit, that I was struggling a little while the story was fixated on the physical trek to find Aiden, but if you feel the same way, stick with it and I promise you will be glad you did! So much depth to the story lines and their characters!
review 2: Set against the background of post-WW2 China and India. Joanna Shaw is in India with her husband, a journalist - or is he? She rescues a young girl with aquamarine eyes from a brothel, or "flash house", and takes her to the rescue home Joanna runs for girls trafficked in to Delhi's red light district. When Joanna's husband dis... moreappears in a plane crash, she takes her young son and her husband's Aussie friend along to help find him, and this young girl to save her from being forcefully returned to the flash house. They travel under harsh conditions through northern India, Kashmir, the Himalayas, and in to the turbulence of Red China under Mao.Although the authorities insist that her husband is dead, Joanna refuses to believe the worst and continues to search for him. She enters a world of lies and intrigue, never quite knowing what or whom to believe. The young girl, Kamla, is caught between the mystery of her birth and wide net of the flash house, while trying to hold tight to the false security of Joanna's family and the opportunity of an education. less
