Unpredictable Winds

4.5 - The historical events of this book are not a location of history I know much about. I've only caught glimpses in another book or two. I was very excited for the opportunity to delve deeper into this time and place.Set in Shanghai during the Sino-Japanese War, Lee and Mei's lives intertwine as they go through this turbulent time not only in the world around them but also in their personal lives. The pages are filled with political intrigue, love and its complications, and rich illustrations of this time in history. I particularly enjoyed Mei's character, however, all of the characters stood out in their own way. I enjoyed both the writing and the story immensely. I'm partial to books that immerse me in another culture. [b:Unpredictable Winds 61375101 Unpredictable Winds Thomas T.
