Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""The Night Tide: A Story of Old Chinatown"" is a novel written by Grant Carpenter and published in 1920. The story is set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the early 1900s and follows the life of a young Chinese-American woman named Lotus Blossom. Lotus Blossom is caught between two worlds, struggling to reconcile her Chinese heritage with her American identity. She falls in love with a young American man named Jack, but their relationship is complicated by their cultural differences and the prejudices of their respective communities. As Lotus Blossom navigates the challenges of her life, she must also confront the dark underbelly of Chinatown, where opium dens, gambling halls, and organized crime are rampant. The novel is a vivid portrayal of life in San Francisco's Chinatown during a time of great social and cultural change, and explores themes of identity, love, and the struggle for acceptance in a society that often marginalizes and discriminates against minority groups.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
