I wasn't a fan. While some concepts are interesting such as things that happen in China, I found the characters depths lacking. Once I start a book I have to finish it & I suffered through it waiting for it to get better. The character is 27, but behaves like a teenager and considering the book has all these intelligence agencies chasing her, and she never gets away or does anything intelligent it just wasn't enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend it.
An excellent book based on the political atmosphere worldwide, but taking place in China with back-flashes to the U.S. in what I assume is Iraq. The main character, Ellie, is an impressive woman for someone who obviously has PTSD, a limp from injuries, and an almost ex-husband. Her friends and acquaintances in China range from artists to possible threatening secret agents.
