![]() ![]() ![]() Her meeting with two young Chinese women who sacrificed their own marriageability in order to study medicine in Chicago disturbs her, but when one of them is accused of murder, Emily must weigh her maternal duties against her moral obligation to help them.Īlthough I sometimes found the writing a little stilted, my interest was piqued by the depiction of turn-of-the-century Chicago’s Chinese community. The fifth in the Emily Cabot mystery series sees Emily, now married and the mother of small children, coping with a seemingly uncaring husband and her anxieties about motherhood and the academic career she has abandoned. This review first appeared on the Historical Novel Society website. Where I got the book: review copy provided by publisher. ![]()
