I learned so much from this book set in San Francisco Chinatown in the 1950s.  There were so many interesting elements in this book:  a young Chinese girl interested in math and science, her friends and relatives in her community, the secret community of lesbians, and the fear of Communist witch hunts which were used to deport Chinese people and jail homosexuals.

I love learning pieces of history, especially about San Francisco.
