An impressive debut novel that delves into the immigration experiences of three generations.
Delivered in lyrical language radiating with apt metaphors, the story alternates between Sammy Chan's modern-day life and her family's past... An enrapturing exploration of identity that proves that family is unshakeable.
- Kirkus Reveiw
A moving portrait of three generations of the Chan family living in Vancouver's Chinatown
Sammy Chan was sure she'd escaped her family obligations when she fled Vancouver six years ago, but with her sister's upcoming marriage, her turn has come to care for their aging mother. Abandoned by all four of her older sisters, jobless and stuck in a city she resents, Sammy finds herself cobbling together a makeshift family history and delving into stories that began in 1913, when her grandfather, Seid Quan, then eighteen years old, first stepped on Canadian soil.
