Just picked this up today, and won't get to it for awhile, but in skimming a few pages I get nervous. I don't expect historical fiction to be exact in every detail, but there are a lot of words and phrases that smack of 1990-2008 rather than 1915, and I'm a little put off that the author can't seem to get the name of his central attraction correct. The 1915 San Francisco World's Fair was known as the Panama Pacific International Exposition--NOT the Pan-Pacific International Exposition(as the author refers to it). The Panama Canal having opened the year before. I'll reserve judgement, however, until I actually read this.
