Description
Tracing four generations of her Chinese-American family, Lisa See presents a sweeping, deeply personal history of immigration, ambition, and belonging. Beginning with her great-grandfather’s arrival in nineteenth-century California, the narrative follows the family’s journey through Chinatown, changing American society, and the challenges of racism, cultural conflict, and assimilation. Rich in historical detail and intimate family stories, the book offers a vivid portrait of the Chinese-American experience while exploring how identity, memory, and tradition are shaped across generations.
