For me, the importance of such a story isn’t in its history, of which I know a fair piece, but in its reflection of events today.

A good review of what promises to be an interesting read. Thanks, Gloria
It sounds like a a page turner.
Jim, you're right about that. I didn't know how horrible it was until I read the book, but I do know that so many immigrants are looked down upon. In California where my daughter lives she has workers who are remodeling her kitchen who are Hispanic, and she really likes them. Also in the hospital where she works, her big (a small guy) boss is Chinese, and she works with a lot who are of different ethnics and gets along with all of them. The only one she doesn't like is a woman who is a recent hire who looks down on blacks, Hispanics and others
like that.
Margaret, it is a good read, and I'm looking forward to the discussion this evening of it at my book club.
Warren, it is. I lost a lot of sleep because I didn't want to put it down and turn out the light.
This is intriguing. Man's inhumanity to man will always be fodder for literature. Thanks for sharing this book with us.
Carla, I know you'll enjoy it. I'll be choosing The Stone Necklace for both of my book clubs,
too, when it's my turn to choose a book.
You and your book clubs find some fascinating things to read, Gloria.
While teaching special ed in an alternative high school, we'd often read books based on things that happened in history or other cultures. Often the kids would be inspired to do some research.
