First love. Second language. Final goodbyes. The electrifying new novel from the literary phenomenon.

Yale student Lily Chen arrives in Taipei hungry: for family, for culture, for connection. But her summer of discovery quickly unravels. Her classes are grueling, her roommate unbearable, and a reckless, deeply awkward trip to the hot springs with a guy she barely knows soon ignites vicious gossip.

Then her grandfather dies. Grieving and adrift, Lily must confront her own questions about the culture she inherited but never fully understood. She embarks on a wryly funny, often devastating search for understanding: of herself, her family, and the meaning of home. All over one unforgettable summer in Taipei.

“Rebecca F. Kuang is about as accomplished as it’s possible to get” – VOGUE
“An unstoppable force in the literary world” – NEW STATESMAN
“A prolific maverick with rare satirical wit” – GUARDIAN
“Kuang is sharply attuned to current mores, but prefers satire to lecturing – reminiscent, in this respect, of her fellow American writers Kiley Reid and Curtis Sittenfeld, who have also written wonderful campus novels. I loved this idiosyncratic coming-of-age story” – THE SPECTATOR
“There is a wildness and freedom to her work that is extraordinary. Her characters are complex and human; nothing feels contrived” – TIME MAGAZINE
