'A wonder . . . gorgeous, soulful, feral' GARTH GREENWELL'Ferocious, dark and gleaming' LAUREN GROFFAn untold story of the arrival of Chinese-American immigrants to the US during the Gold Rush. A novel about conflict between two siblings, carrying the body of their newly deceased father across a harsh landscape.
In the American West, during the Gold Rush, Lucy and Sam leave town with a gun in their hands and the body of their father on their backs. The siblings seek out a new way to live, but will their secrets bring them together or break them apart?
A fierce and compelling debut ... Crazy good, richly poetic in the telling, I devoured 100 pages at first sitting. The story of immigrant experience, but one we've rarely read or imagined. A rollicking adventure story to boot
