All three are looking to get hired in Chinatown.
The setting is San Francisco California and we have three narrators: there is Grace, the very Americanized runaway from Plain City, Ohio, looking for a fresh start in life after running away from harsh physical abuse from her father there is Helen, the seemingly filial daughter of a very Confucian Chinese American immigrant family and lastly, there is Ruby, the sensual and popular Japanese American masquerading as a Chinese American. Lisa See branches out somewhat in her latest offering China Dolls, which takes on the pre-World War II American context from the perspective of three young Asian American women who are seeking fortune and fame in the performance arts.
