Two things draw me to Jamie Ford's books; in this too, Love and Other Consolation Prizes is similar to his other books. The first is that the books envelop the reader in their world - the sights, the sounds, the smells. I feel as if I am there experiencing the history. The other is his ability to draw sympathetic characters and to elicit that emotion. That keeps me engaged in the story. For that, I look forward to the next book.

A story of a young, very young, boy from China who ends up in Washington state, USA, in the early 1900's. He is then 'auctioned' off during a World's Fair. An interesting story of the times.
