Much as in his previous book, Orphans Preferred , Christopher Corbett's true material isn't the particular parts of history that the books are ostensibly about, but the very act of story-telling. The Poker Bride is a fascinating account of a Chinese girl who may or may not have been won in a poker game in Gold Rush-era Idaho back country, and the larger nearly-lost history of the transient Chinese immigrants who helped build the American west. But above that, it's a story of how history gets lost and twisted -- if history is written by the winners, what happens to the history of those who were less fortunate? As he finds and debates the myriad unreliable ways that the "poker bride" might have ended up living on the banks of the Salmon River at the turn of the 20th century, what Corbett is really preserving is the fine line between history and myth, and the ease with which that line is crossed.(Disclaimer: The author is my former college adviser, so this review may not be the most objective.)

Beautiful story told in beautiful language about three generations of a Cuban family through 20th century's upheavals. Unfortunately, the book was very hard to follow, the narration jumping between characters and tenses entirely too much. Still a pleasure to read and a thoughtful look at the way cultures can tug and pull at hearts and tear families up, but often a pain just getting from chapter to chapter.
