Customer Reviews

Surprised and delighted me!

I saw this book was around $4, thought the plot sounded interesting enough, and purchased it. I couldn't believe how quickly it gripped me. I totally fell in love with the book and have been recommending it ever since. I felt completely transported while reading - to the point where people would have to call my name a couple times to get me out of Beijing and back into my apartment. The Incarnations is so fascinating and immersive, and really unlike anything I've ever read. I'm almost hesitant to read Susan Barker's other works, for fear they won't be so brilliant as this (that being said, I have Sayonara Bar in my cart right now). Read this book ASAP!!
