The Night Tide: A Story Of Old Chinatown is a novel written by Grant Carpenter and published in 1920. The story is set in the San Francisco Chinatown during the early 1900s and revolves around the life of a young Chinese-American man named Jimmie Dale. Jimmie is a second-generation immigrant who is struggling to find his identity and place in a world that is torn between tradition and modernity.The novel explores the themes of love, loyalty, and cultural identity as Jimmie falls in love with a Chinese opera singer named Lotus Blossom, who is also struggling to reconcile her traditional upbringing with her desire for independence. Along the way, Jimmie becomes embroiled in a dangerous underworld of opium dens, gambling houses, and gangsters as he tries to protect Lotus from the dangers that surround her.The Night Tide is a vivid portrayal of the Chinese-American experience in early 20th-century America, capturing the tensions and conflicts that arose between the Chinese community and the wider society. Carpenter's writing is rich in detail and provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of the characters, their struggles and triumphs, and the complex social and cultural landscape of Old Chinatown. The novel is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today, offering a powerful message of hope and resilience in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
