By Jessie Anderson Chase

Book Overview

Chan's Wife: A Story is a novel written by Jessie Anderson Chase and published in 1919. The book tells the story of a Chinese man named Chan, who marries a white woman named Mary. The novel explores the challenges and prejudices that the couple faces in their interracial marriage, including discrimination from both Chinese and white communities. The story is set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the early 20th century, and it provides a glimpse into the daily life of Chinese immigrants during that time. The book is a poignant and thought-provoking examination of race, culture, and love in a time of great social upheaval. It is a powerful reminder of the struggles and triumphs of those who dared to challenge the status quo and forge their own path in a world that often sought to hold them back.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
