'The power of this enchanting debut novel lies in the evanescence of reality and the stealth of truth... All the pieces of the heroine's disjointed history create a beautiful mess that comes together at the last moment. Delicate, lyrical, mysterious' KIRKUS REVIEWS Maibelle Chung, daughter of an Amerasian photo journalist and his Caucasian wife, was raised in New York's Chinatown, where her red hair and green eyes marked her as an outcast. Now an adult, Maibelle is plagued by nightmares that hint at family secrets and hidden shames dating back to her childhood and, beyond, to the China her father left behind. 'The compelling story of one extended Chinese-American family and the differing reactions of its sharply drawn characters to the challenges of assimilation. Aimee Liu skilfully handles the generation conflicts and the geographical contrasts as her narrative moves between the past and the present in both China and America. Authentic in every detail, this novel should attract not only readers with Asian interests but, as an extended metaphor, everyone concerned with the changing qualities of life today' John Espey 'With clarity and insight, Aimee Liu has given us a glimpse into a world as familiar as it may be foreign, a world in which the secrets people keep are as potent as the stories they tell' Christina Baker Kline, author of SWEET WATER
