Klappentext zu „Mambo in Chinatown “
22-year-old Charlie Wong grew up in New York's Chinatown, the older daughter of a Beijing ballerina and a master noodle maker. Her whole world has been limited to Chinatown and even as an adult she still lives in the same tiny apartment with her widowed father and little sister, supporting herself by working as a dishwasher. But when she lands a job as a receptionist at a ballroom dance studio, Charlie enters a world she didn't know existed and it changes everything for her. As her own talents emerge she must hide them from her father and his suspicion of the West.
