San Francisco, 1906. Amid a city teeming with fresh millionaires and cunning opportunists, two distinct women aspire to alter their destinies: Gemma, a golden-haired, silver-toned soprano in dire need of a career revival, and Suling, a small yet steadfast Chinatown seamstress resolved to evade a prearranged marriage. Their lives intersect when they are pulled into the sphere of Henry Thornton, a charismatic railroad tycoon whose remarkable assortment of Chinese antiquities encompasses the mythical Phoenix Crown, a famed artifact of Beijing’s toppled Summer Palace.
Thornton’s support presents Gemma and Suling with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but their worlds are upended when a catastrophic earthquake shatters San Francisco and Thornton vanishes, leaving behind a riddle that extends beyond anyone’s wildest imagination . . . until the Phoenix Crown resurfaces five years later at an extravagant Paris masquerade, uniting Gemma and Suling in a final desperate pursuit of justice.
Starting @KateQuinnAuthor’s “The Phoenix Crown” and it’s amazing how much San Francisco hasn’t changed. I know it’s fiction, but y’all clocked our fair city.
