Produktbeschreibung

AN ENCHANTING TALE OF INNOCENCE AND DEVOTION

1909, Seattle. For Ernest Young, the chance to experience the exotic exhibits and carnival rides at the city's famous World's Fair feels like the perfect birthday gift. But the half-Chinese orphan finds his world turned upside down when he discovers that he will be a prize, raffled off to 'a good home'.

The winning ticket belongs to the flamboyant madam of a high-class brothel, and so begins Ernest's new life. His days of hard work are enriched by his friendship with two girls and he believes he's found the home he has always longed for - until the three begin to grow up and the choices they must make will haunt them for decades.

1962. On the eve of the new World's Fair, Ernest is juggling memories and the demands of his ailing wife, while trying to hold on to long-held family secrets which threaten to break free.
