| I just loved this book! This book takes place in 1922, back when the first Chinese settlers arrived in Canada. Chin Mei-Ling was one of them. She wanted to attend high school but had to work in order to get her brother and mother here in Canada, too. She lived in Vancouver, Canada, in Chinatown, and was often teased by her classmate, Ivor Jones, and men on the streets, too, because of her nationality.

| I am a fan of Gillian Chan's short stories for young adults. I basically devoured her two short story collections, Glory Days, and Golden Girl, so when I saw that she had written a novel, I picked it up. From the very first page, I was swept into the story. My own beloved dog had died just a week before I read this novel, and so the character of Dog especially appealed to me. It is not easy to fully develop an animal character in a realistic novel, but Chan achieves this admirably. I had tears ... Read More: |

| This was a pretty good book. I liked the basic story line: a young girl (Ellen) during World War II meeting and falling in love with a young soldier. One thing that kind of made me confused was the nightmare that Stephen, the soldier, has several times throughout the book. It repeats itself nearly word for word during the dream and the waking-up part each time it happens.
These characters swear sometimes, but not too much (if you're like me and don't enjoy that, this is just a note...). It's quite a ... Read More: |

| The teens in Golden Girl are not sweetness and light, and neither are the adults. The stories and the characters ring true. What I really like about this book is that all the stories stand alone, and yet they're linked. I read the whole thing in one sitting and all I could think was that I wanted more. So I got Glory Days, and it is just as good! |
