This is one of the best books I’ve ever read. I learned a lot about Chinese-American culture (specifically in the 1940s and 50s). I also learned a lot about lesbians and the queer community during that time. I love that Lily and Kath end up back together after being separated for a year. Please read the author’s note at the end of the book, as it helps explain the author’s research for this book.
