Description
Set against the vibrant, contradictory worlds of New York’s Chinatown and downtown bohemia, this novel follows a young Chinese American woman as she negotiates family expectations, cultural identity, intimacy, and independence. Her experiences illuminate the tensions between tradition and self-invention, community and alienation, and the identities imposed by others and claimed for oneself. With wit, sensuality, and an unflinching eye for family and desire, the story offers a lively portrait of coming of age between cultures.
