The Jade Peony by Wayson Choy
4.0

A sad novel that better revealed the layers of racism present in our society than any other book I've read. Ending during the Second World War, the racism between white people and Chinese and Japanese, and the Chinese towards the Japanese paints an ugly picture through the eyes of a child who is otherwise ignorant of it all.
