The Phoenix Crown: A Novel by Kate Quinn and Janie Chang (William Morrow Paperbacks). Reviewed by Jennifer Bort Yacovissi. “The tension ratchets up for readers, who know the big bang is coming, at the same time we wonder how Suling will join forces with the others, and the mystery deepens as to what’s happened to Nellie. There’s background chatter, too, about a Pinkerton detective who has gone missing. Something malevolent is afoot.

There were no queer people in history. At least, that could be a reasonable take-away from pursuing one-star reviews of some of the best historical fiction novels out there. Perhaps the—very—slight uptick in LGBTQ+ representation in everything from World War II novels to Regency romances seems overwhelming to some because there was so little of it before. That reaction reminds me of the saying, when you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

What Kate Quinn and Janie Chang have accomplished in their new novel, THE PHOENIX CROWN, is phenomenal. They have combined fictional female characters with real people and events to create a gripping story that revolves around the Great Earthquake of San Francisco in 1906. In fact, the first part of the book, Act 1, provides dates, days, hours and minutes as chapter headings until the earthquake hits.
