<p><b>From Sigrid Nunez, the National Book Award-winning and bestselling author of <i>The Friend,</i> comes this mesmerising story about the tangled nature of relationships between parents and children, between language and love.</b><br><br><b>'A pleasure from the first page to the last' </b>JONATHAN FRANZEN<br><br><b>***With an introduction by Susan Choi***</b><br><br>A young woman looks back to the world of her immigrant parents: a Chinese-Panamanian father and a German mother, who meet in postwar Germany and settle in New York City. Growing up in a housing project in the 1950s and 1960s, the narrator escapes into dreams inspired both by her parents' stories and by her own reading and, for a time, into the otherworldly life of ballet. A yearning homesick mother, a silent and withdrawn father, the ballet-these are the elements that shape the young woman's imagination and her sexuality.<br><br><b>'A forceful novel by a writer of uncommon talent'</b> NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW</p>
