The Secret of the Nightingale Palace by Dana Sachs is a novel about a road trip taken from NY to SF by a grandmother and her estranged grandaughter. The story moves back and fourth between present day and 1940's San Francisco.
I didn't really like the grandmother, but the writing is good and there are enough twists and turns that keep the story interesting all the way until the end. Also, wonderful images of early Japanese Tea Gardens in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. A good, but not great read.
