NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • "A fascinating portrait of life as a Chinese American woman in the 1930s and '40s."-The New York Times Book Review "Superb . . . This emotional, informative and brilliant page-turner resonates with resilience and humanity."-The Washington Post (One of the Best Books of the Year) San Francisco, 1938: A world's fair is preparing to open on Treasure Island, a war is brewing overseas, and the city is alive with possibilities. Talented Grace, traditional Helen, and defiant Ruby, three young women from very different backgrounds, meet by chance at the exclusive and glamorous Forbidden City nightclub. The girls become fast friends, relying on one another through unexpected challenges and shifting fortunes. When their dark secrets are exposed and the invisible thread of fate binds them even tighter, they find the strength and resilience to reach for their dreams. But after the Japanese attack Pearl Harbor, paranoia and suspicion threaten to destroy their lives, and a shocking act of betrayal changes everything.
