Water Ghosts

Waters Ghosts by Shawna Yang Ryan is a very atmospheric little novel about a small Chinese farming town on the Sacramento River in the 1920's. Yang Ryan weaves history and myth together to paint a picture of Chinese immigrant life.

When three women arrive in town on a boat coming in from the mist, no one is sure of who they really are and how they got there. The whole novel felt like a dream. A worthwhile read.
