When Kimberly Chang and her mother emigrate from Hong Kong to Brooklyn squalor, she quickly begins a secret double life: exceptional schoolgirl during the day, Chinatown sweatshop worker in the evenings. Disguising the more difficult truths of her life—like the staggering degree of her poverty, the weight of her family's future resting on her shoulders, or her secret love for a factory boy who shares none of her talent or ambition—Kimberly learns to constantly translate not just her language but herself back and forth between the worlds she straddles.(Amazon.com)
This is my book clubs choice to read for February. I read the book, it was readable, but I didn't really enjoy this book much. Don't know why, but it just didn't keep me reading. I kept putting it down and picking it up. Which is frustrating to me anyway. Maybe I wasn't in the mood to read this particular book. Who knows....anyway it's readable. ***
