Description
Set against the upheaval of 1970s China and the promise of a new life abroad, this lyrical historical novel follows a young girl growing up in the care of her grandmother after her mother leaves to pursue a future in Canada. As the years unfold, the daughter and mother must reckon with the emotional costs of separation and the fragile bonds that endure across distance and time. Rich in atmosphere and deeply attentive to the inner lives of its characters, the story explores motherhood, migration, memory, sacrifice, and the search for belonging.
