This is a novel of historical fiction. It takes place in the middle part of the nineteenth century. The first part of the book is set in Valparaiso, Chile. Next there is a section on a ship sailing to California, interspersed with background information set in China. Finally, most of the last part takes place in California, between San Francisco and Sacramento.
