4.0

beautifully written yet so devastatingly tragic. details a young girl who is kidnapped from China and sold into prostitution in San Francisco, and her journey from there into the Midwest as the Chinese Exclusion Act is coming into action. I loved the theme of identity, alongside the usage of Chinese calligraphy throughout. A piece of Chinese-American history I had no idea about, so I’d highly recommend to historical fiction lovers.
