A lyrical, dark historical fiction that uncovers a dark part of US history. Events take place in both China and the US and depict the intimate story of the main character as well as the larger story of Chinese immigrants during the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. It is fiction based on a mysterious truth uncovered in an archive by the author. Beautifully written and tragically executed.

ends with the main characters being lynched, with some quite graphic (though not sexual) depictions of violence
