I bought this book while on holiday in Queensland because I had finished my other one, I am a huge YA fan, and it was relatively inexpensive. I am so glad that I did. I pretty much devoured the novel over the course of one day because I was so hooked. Besides being minorly predictable to those of us who have read their fair share of YA fiction, Holland did an excellent job of blending just the right amount of romance and adventure to keep me wanting to read more. I can't wait to read the next book.

Ya Ling is kidnapped from her well-off Chinese family and sold in to slavery in 15th century Italy. Mantegna, a Renaissance artist, buys her with money that he can't really afford to spend, and takes her home to a very disapproving wife and household.
Ya Ling is admirable calm and stoic through all of her trials and tribulations, and eventually work as a respected healer, as her family taught her back in China.
The author really makes you feel for the characters in her novel - pity and later pride for Ya Ling, and hatred for some of the less virtuous male characters. It's a book that reflects the times very well: men, and men in the church especially, hold all the cards. Women are held in very low esteem. And women who are in any way different from the accepted norms are in danger of the ecclesiastical courts.
I read this on 'The Pigeonhole', a social reading platform, and really enjoyed the whole experience.

Read for Judah's school. Too much focus on him being a misbehaving child. Ya, he had consequences he had to deal with. But just didn't sit well with me. Maybe I'm crazy. But I di like the intro into the Chinese culture for Judah.

Great early character development (1 more)
Very minimal awkward teen love scenes
This is how young adult fiction should be done.
Roped in from the beginning. Easy reading without getting boring. Entertaining and engaging, with just the right amount of eye rolls from an adult reader for YA fiction.

I think that I may have enjoyed this book better if I would have read it before I saw the movie. But such is not the case. I always like the book better. So, I will have to settle with that. This is a great YA book.
