This book really surprised me in its depth, history and research. I thought that the eastern bloc bride buying  among wealthier men looking for a pretty girl out of their league was mostly a 20th century modern day phenomenon, but was I wrong. This research takes us from Jamestown to Asia and throughout time. It was very interesting and simultaneously depressing to hear about this trade of women.

This is an interesting part of American history, which I knew almost nothing about, but I'm still not convinced that having mail-order brides is a good idea....
