So much more thriller-y than I was expecting! This really is an ‘intricate, tightly woven story about the price of ambition, displacement and adoption’ I could not put it down. I thought it was such an interesting exploration of the life of an illegal immigrant; the underground world of Opium was one I don’t know (thank goodness)..but I was just as intrigued in the glamorous world of publishing (exactly how I pictured it haha)
Both Jasmine and Rebecca were born women into a world that wanted a man. Their lives couldn’t be more different, but both are fighting to be accepted really and that was fascinating to think about. Wealth and power are obviously themes and I am there for that! This was a novel I am still thinking about, and will be for a long time to come I think
