The Flower Drum Song

More about the book

"Wang Ta wants what every young American man wants: a great career and a woman to love. Living in San Francisco's Chinatown with his widowed father, Old Master Wang, who misses the old way of life in China, and his younger brother, who just wants to be a normal American teenager, Wang Ta attends medical school and becomes involved with a series of women. There's the wild playgirl whose many "brothers" buy her nice things; there's the homely seamstress who cooks wonderful traditional meals for Wang Ta while conducting a decidedly untraditional relationship with him; and then there's May Li, the sweet-voiced beauty newly arrived from China. Meanwhile, his aunt, Madam Tang, is full of advice about how to adapt."--BOOK JACKET
