River East, River West wer. angielska

SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2024Shanghai, 2007: feeling betrayed by her American mother`s engagement to their rich landlord Lu Fang, fourteen-year-old Alva begins plotting her escape. But the exclusive American School – a potential ticket out – is not what she imagined. Qingdao, 1985: newlywed Lu Fang works as a lowly shipping clerk.

Though he aspires to a bright future, he is one of many casualties of harsh political reforms. Then China opens up to foreigners and capital, and Lu Fang meets a  woman who makes him question what he should settle for... A mesmerising reversal of the east–west immigrant narrative set against China`s economic boom,  River East, River West  is a deeply  moving exploration of race, identity and family, of capitalism`s false promise and private dreams.
