RaveCrime Fiction ReviewWhat is most fascinating about this novel is seeing a young man raised by a respected artisan in Meiji Restoration Japan travel to America, learning about its culture and seeking his place in it.

Crown City evokes a fertile collision of cultures at a moment in history, all wrapped up in a ripping good yarn.
