9.99 €
A dynamic, nuanced novel that reveals a difficult period of American history in the early late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, linked to the circumstances of the Chinese Exclusion Act.
Daiyu lost everything: her parents disappeared, and she was kidnapped and taken from China to America, a country gripped by anti-Chinese sentiment, full of cruelty and despair. She is followed by the trail of tragic fate of the legendary heroine after whom she is named. But who is Daiyu herself, and what does she have besides the characters of her name...?
From calligraphy school to a San Francisco brothel to the mountains of Idaho, every next step has become a challenge, every person a potential threat. From now on, Daiyu is forced to pretend to be other people and reinvent herself in order to survive and finally find her true self.
