AwardsLonglisted Booker Prize 2020 ReviewsIn the twilight days of the Californian goldrush, two Chinese-American orphans search for home. This is an astonishing debut, weaving together themes of identity, family conflict, migrant struggle and the American dream into a glittering, vast adventure story. Complex, epic, and current, with elements of myth and magical realism, it’s easy to see why this book has already been long-listed for the 2020 Booker Prize. –Steph, The Book Grocer |
