Rendition Conducive To Books Tea Cups & Tiger Claws
First comes the miracle and then comes the madness. The miracle is the birth of identical triplets, and the madness is all about money, of course. The year is 1916 and the newborn baby girls have become pint-size celebrities. Unfortunately, this small portion of fame soon leads to a much larger portion of greed, and the triplets are split up—parceled out to the highest bidders. Two of the girls go to live in a hilltop mansion. The third girl isn't so lucky. She ends up with a shady family that lives in an abandoned work camp. That’s how their lives begin: two on top, one on the bottom, and all three in the same small town. And when their worlds collide, as they must, the consequences are extreme."Tea Cups & Tiger Claws" spans fifty years and takes the reader from a shantytown to a gilded mansion, from dark desires to sacrificial love.

I'm a little torn on this book. On the one hand it did hold my interest pretty well and the plot and characters felt pretty novel and interesting. It was quite a saga, spanning multiple generations and many years. The writing was decent in a plot-driven kind of way. Dark and a bit disturbing, which I like in a book. The book felt a little rushed at times, skimming the surface and not delving into the characters much, and leaving some stuff and some characters hanging. I did feel like I wasn'tA pitiless look at how wealth and position drive the lives of a diverse community of people in the genteel small town of Prospect Park, California. It's impossible to outline the contents of the book without giving away too much of the plot and, since I hate spoilers, I will focus this review on the style and quality of the writing. The three parts of this complex, convoluted and multi-generational saga are so different in focus and tempo that, in different hands, might have ended up as a
This is a wonderful story, and I really love to read a good story with a little possible and a little improbable thrown in for good measure.Though not all the characters were well developed, they weren't just glossed over, and it was the plot that was compelling. I expected with triplets separated at birth, it would be a more character driven saga, but though it wasn't I was not disappointed.What really got me was the way the author pulled at my heart strings, and for a time, had me rooting for

It all starts with the birth of identical triplets and the associated publicity this event generates in a news-starved press. Two of the three baby girls are adopted by a wealthy duchess from
So soStarted out interesting but went into too many unbelievable turns. The jealousy and criminal mind if Dorothea was just too much to accept even in fiction.
