Formatted contents note |
"Chinatown, Vancouver, in the late 1930s and '40s is the setting for this poignant novel told through the vivid, intense reminiscences of three children of an immigrant family. They each experience a very different childhood as they encounter the complexities of birth and death, love and hate, kinship and otherness. Mingling with the realities of Canada and the horror of war are the magic, ghosts, paper uncles and family secrets of Poh-Poh, or Grandmother, the heart and pillar of the family.<br/> |
