505			_a"Chinatown, Vancouver, in the late 1930s and '40s is the setting for this poignant novel told through the vivid, intense reminiscences of three children of an immigrant family. They each experience a very different childhood as they encounter the complexities of birth and death, love and hate, kinship and otherness. Mingling with the realities of Canada and the horror of war are the magic, ghosts, paper uncles and family secrets of Poh-Poh, or Grandmother, the heart and pillar of the family.
505			_aWayson Choy's Chinatown is a community of unforgettable individuals who are "neither this nor that", neither entirely Canadian nor Chinese. But with each other's help, they survive hardship and heartbreak with grit and humour." (Book Cover)
