...at each intersection she cast skittish glances at the women waiting for the light to change, wondering if she was one of them too, or her, or her.

the book really exceeded my expectation for it; i loved the writing and you can just tell how much research was put into this historical fiction!!! i'm neither chinese, american, nor a lesbian but as a sapphic person of color i did relate to some stuffs in the book and it was quite emotional.... ohh the intricacy of asian family relationships versus the burden of heteronormative expectations....
