Description
Inspired by three figures who lived at pivotal moments in Chinese-American history, and drawing on his own mixed-race experience, Peter Ho Davies plunges us into what it is like to feel, and be treated, like a foreigner in the country you call home. Ranging from the mouth of the Pearl River to the land of golden opportunity, this remarkable novel spans 150 years to tell a tale of familial bonds denied, of tenacity and pride, of prejudice and the universal need to belong.

Professional reviews
"By the author of the Booker longlisted The Welsh Girl, a vibrant, powerful and iconoclastic novel telling the little-known story of the Chinese in America. “A poignant, cascading four-part novel about being Asian and western, about immigrants and natives, about belonging in a country and one's skin […] outstanding.” DAVID MITCHELL, Guardian. “The book's scope is impressive, but what's even more staggering is the utter intimacy and honesty of each character's introspection. […] Davies has created a brilliant, absorbing masterpiece.” PUBLISHERS WEEKLY"
