Love and Other Consolation Prizes

Second-Hand

Excellent condition

1909, Seattle. At the World's Fair, a half-Chinese boy called Ernest Young is raffled off as a prize.

He ends up working in a brothel in Seattle's famed Red Light District and falls in love with Maisie, the daughter of a flamboyant madam, and Fahn, a karayuki-san, a Japanese maid sold into servitude.

On the eve of the new World's Fair in 1962, Ernest looks back on the past - the memories he made with his beloved wife - while his daughter, a reporter, begins to unravel their tragic past.
