"It’s the 1920s. Anya is a 15-year-old girl who lives with her mother in a hovel in Harbin, China near a train station. One day, she finds a cloth sack holding the most amazing treasure—a bejeweled egg. Turns out, it’s a Fabergé, and while she doesn’t"

"This sad, emotionally raw book may have just become one of my top favorites
Oh my goodness, did this novel have me in a chokehold the past two days. I got this on a whim, as it's not the type of book I normally read. Let me just say, it was absolutely" Read more of this review » |

“The night garden felt like a home, with the glittering sky for the ceiling, the bushes our rug, and the dilapidated pavilion our bed. He lit up the place like a heart-warming hearth fire. He was the walls of my sanctuary, the food for my eyes, the scent of a home. He was everything.”

“I knew now: love and destiny were two wild horses that could not be curbed. They galloped in different directions and ran down different paths where streams of desire and hope would not converge. To follow one was to betray the other. To make one happy was to break the other's heart. Yet I supposed that was part of life, a lesson we had to learn. To grow up was also to give up, and to build the future was to dissolve the past. The only thing we could do was hope for the best, to believe that the horse we chose would find us a safe destination.”

“In truth, we were similar. Like two sides of a fan, we were at odds with each other, we competed with each other, but our fates similarly rested in the hands of the Emperor--the holder, the commander, the manipulator of our destinies.”

“It is not true that women cannot keep secrets. Where they love, they can be trusted to death and beyond, against all sense and reason. It is their weakness, and their great strength. ”

“Could I fight against rumor? I did not think so, for rumor had no grave and only bore seeds. It germinated in the air, thrived in the sun, and ripened in the shadows. It would not die in the rain and fly only higher in the wind.”
