Reviews
A work of gorgeous, enduring prose.
Impeccable. . . . Delicately specific tales of Chinese immigrant life . . . capturing the universal struggles of the human heart. . . . So luminous is this collection, the result is something like a pearl.
Elegant.... A delicately calculated balance sheet of the losses and gains of immigrants whose lives are stretched between two radically different cultures.
