Description
A compelling and poignant story, The Downstairs Girl follows Jo Kuan, a Chinese American girl living in segregated 1890s Atlanta. By day, she works as a lady's maid, navigating life on the margins of a society determined by the colour of one's skin. By night, she writes a radical advice column under the pseudonym 'Miss Sweetie', sharing her strong opinions and ambitions with a city eager for change. As her secret identity is revealed, Jo must confront the hard truths about her identity and her country, and decide whether to stay invisible or be herself.
