Resumen:

Mona in the Promised Land : In 1968 the Chinese have become "the New Jews". At least that's what teenaged Mona Chang discovers when her newly prosperous family moves to Scarshill, New York. As Mona attends temple "rap" sessions and falls in love with a nice Jewish boy who lives in a tepee, the author of Typical American sets our notions of cultural diversity and ethnic identity spinning.

With its sharply observed milieu and its utterly charming heroine, Mona in the Promised Land is an irresistible book, delivered with a wit as dry as a latter-day Jane Austen's.
