Description
In Hong Kong’s close-knit expatriate community, three American women navigate private grief, longing, and uncertainty beneath the polished surface of privileged lives. Mercy, a young Korean American struggling to move beyond a painful past, finds herself crossing paths with Hilary, whose yearning for a child has placed new strain on her marriage, and Margaret, a mother confronting the limits of identity after devastating loss. As their seemingly separate lives begin to intersect, each woman must reckon with the choices, secrets, and expectations shaping her sense of belonging. With psychological insight and emotional precision, the novel explores motherhood, marriage, displacement, friendship, and the fragile boundaries between reinvention and escape.
