Lily Chen, a student at Yale, arrives in Taipei for the summer hoping to find family, roots and a sense of connection to a heritage she has only ever known from a distance. It does not go to plan. Her language classes are gruelling, her roommate is a nightmare, and an impulsive, awkward trip to the hot springs with a man she hardly knows sets tongues wagging.
Then her grandfather dies. Grieving and adrift, Lily begins to question the culture she inherited but never fully understood, and sets out to make sense of herself, her family and what home really means.
Wryly funny and often heartbreaking, this is a tender coming-of-age novel about first love, learning a second language and saying goodbye, from the bestselling author of Babel and Yellowface.
