This was a fantastic novel. A couple from Charleston with two children decide to adopt a Korean baby in the late 70s. They are part of Charleston society and bloodlines mean everything to their families so this adoption is not well accepted by his family or many of their friends. The book is about the subtle racism that occurs when someone different is brought into a closed society. Its also a story of love and acceptance and family. Its set in the beautiful city of Charleston and we learn a lot about the city as well as the people who live there. The book is well written and a delight to read. I highly recommend it!… (mehr)
