‘Splendidly entertaining.’ The Times
‘Lively and admiring.’ Telegraph
‘The biography that Wong has long deserved.’ Guardian

Set against the glittering backdrop of LA in the gin-soaked Jazz Age and during the rise of Hollywood, Not Your China Doll celebrates Anna May Wong – the groundbreaking artist and first Asian American movie star – and reclaims her place in cinema history. From fighting being typecast in roles in America to garnering critical acclaim in Europe, Anna May demanded the world see her as she truly was: an enchanting actress, legendary beauty, witty conversationalist and fashion icon, redefining Asian American representation in film.
