I don't usually give five whole stars to any book, really. But this one is so darn good. A great story, great characters, great everything. You will probably stay up late at night reading this Sophie's story is an amazing one, as are all of the character's stories. The San Francisco earthquake in the early 1900's is the settings. As you read, you come to realize that everything that goes on in this book would not be possible wi9th today's technology. Probably not possible in the 1960's or earlier, really. But who of us, given the chance, would not try to do this if we had to?
