The setting was immersive and played a big role in characterization as well, with Lily and Shirley each having their own relationships to Chinatown, mostly to do with economic status. There’s contemporary political issues discussed, but some of it is left uncertain by the end.
Overall this was fantastic.
Is there a happy ending?
