The Jade Peony
by Wayson Choy
Interesting read. I picked this one up at a sale by the local library (5 books for 4 Euros) and just grabbed this one because I needed 2 extra books to get to 5.
I hadn't read anything before about Chinese immigrants in Canada during the 1920s-1940s so it was an educating book for me. Choy writes really well. The language is clear but never boring. Nice insight in a time and community I hadn't really read about - or thought about - before.
