A beautiful story of a young Chinese American girl coming to terms with her sexuality during the 1950s. Gorgeous writing that tugs at the heart strings, woven together with artfully crafted descriptions of 50s San Fransisco, the communist panic and unlawful deportation of many Chinese Americans. A little slow, but purposeful. I envy the bravery and confidence that Lily shows in the face of adversity from both her family and the world.
