Summer Affair by Susan Wiggs

This is one of those trashy paperback romantic history novels. I learn a little bit of history by the long drawn out escapades of two unlikely people that fall in love. It never really works out that way. It is mindless reading. I have been reading such deep novels lately, that I decided to take a break.

The setting in this book was about 1900 in San Francisco. It followed the story of a doctor and his desire to clean-up the waterfront of opium traffiking. Along the way, he picks up a stray patient and subsequently falls in love with her. Just a few moments of suspense, but basically a predictable storyline.

Not a high score from me.

Thanks for reading.
