Sneak Peak
‘Mrs. Spring Fragrance walked through the leafy alleys of the park, admiring the flowers and listening to the birds singing. It was a beautiful afternoon with the warmth from the sun cooled by a refreshing breeze. As she walked along she meditated upon a book which she had some notion of writing. Many American women wrote books. Why should not a Chinese? She would write a book about Americans for her Chinese women friends. The American people were so interesting and mysterious. Something of pride and pleasure crept into Mrs. Spring Fragrance’s heart as she pictured Fei and Sie and Mai Gwi Far listening to Lae-Choo reading her illuminating paragraphs.'
Synopsis
Mrs. Spring Fragrance is a collection of short stories written in the early twentieth century by Sui Sin Far, the pen name of Chinese-British-Canadian-American author Edith Maude Eaton. The work is notable as the "the earliest book of fiction published in the United States by an author of mixed Chinese and white descent."

The book is cleverly divided into two sections, Mrs. Spring Fragrance is aimed at adults, while Tales of Chinese Children is aimed at children. They are set in Seattle and San Francisco and reflect the daily struggles and joys of Chinese families in North America. The stories that describe the cultural clashes between European settlers and recent immigrants are particularly moving. Sui Sin Far depicts the suffering caused by discriminatory immigration laws in In the Land of the Free.
