Description
In Aube Rey Lescure's striking debut, *River East, River West*, the rapidly transforming landscape of Shanghai mirrors the complex lives of its inhabitants. The novel unfolds across two pivotal eras, the mid-1980s and mid-2000s, exploring the intertwined destinies of an American expatriate, her mixed-race daughter Alva, and a Chinese businessman. As Shanghai itself grapples with modernization and reinvention, the characters navigate themes of identity, belonging, and the search for family amidst profound societal change. Lescure masterfully crafts an immersive narrative, drawing on her own experiences to bring a deeply empathetic and layered portrait of a family and a nation in flux.
