The Chinese Alchemist By: Lyn Hamilton
Fiction, mystery-archaeology 257 pages copyright 2007
This book is a twisting turning adventure that keeps surprising you to the end. In part because the author doesn’t give you the all the information you need to solve it until the end, but in this book that made me feel more connected with the main character in her frustration in just being at the edge of finding out what is going on. Also each chapter starts with a bit in the live of people from the time in which the alchemist boxes that the story revolves around were made. These bits were so interesting that I wish there was a book of only that story too. The story also talks a lot about how China is changing and not changing which is interesting giving the ways in which it has been in the news lately.
