A dark and glittering debut that traces a mixed family’s troubled
trajectory through developing China
Shanghai, 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.
