Dear potential readers,
Stop lingering, sit down and read this work of art. 
Kath and Lily’s journey in the 1950s America and the exploration of Chinatown, Chinese identity, and familial and societal values in the contrast to white America, McCarthyism, and Lavender Scare is so insightful and rich of emotion and opinion.
It is backed up by research into which Malinda Lo dives into at the end of the work, citing her sources. 
LNATTC isn’t just a work of fiction made from the writer’s imagination but a fictitious story based on real stories and experiences from the time, supported by Lo’s family’s experiences. 
Truly a charm and gift.
