A stunning, powerful debut novel about the choices we make and what
it costs to belong, for fans of Brit Bennett and Clare Chambers. 'A
gripping and evocative tale of family secrets, courage, adversity
and love. Sook-Yin and Lily's stories are beautifully told and
truly unforgettable . . . such accomplished storytelling and
gorgeous prose. Brilliant' Emma Stonex 'A story of family, love,
redemption and belonging, told with such heart and empathy.
Essential and utterly unforgettable' FĂona Scarlett 'An absolute
wrecking ball of a novel. Ghost Girl, Banana is an enchanting,
suspenseful journey through family, distance, money and betrayal. I
loved it so much' Erin Kelly 1966: Sook-Yin is exiled from Kowloon
to London with orders to restore honour to her family. As she
strives to fit into a world that does not understand her, she
realizes that survival will mean carving out a destiny of her own.
1997: Sook-Yin's daughter Lily can barely remember the mother she
lost as a small child. But when she is unexpectedly named in the
will of a powerful Chinese stranger, she embarks on a secret
pilgrimage to Hong Kong to discover the lost side of her identity
and claim the reward. But she soon learns that the secrecy around
her heritage has deep roots, and good fortune comes at a price.
'Ghost Girl, Banana is an epic yet deeply intimate novel. I was
rapt throughout, propelled by Wiz Wharton's taut, immersive prose.
She swept me up in Sook-Yin and Lily's mirrored journeys of
discovery, spanning decades and continents, but always I could feel
the vibration of these women existing in the wider world; their
stories are so skilfully shot through with the hum of change' Kate
Sawyer, author of Costa prize-shortlisted The Stranding 'An
intriguing, beautifully written study of the stories we inherit. I
loved being in Lily and Sook-Yin's heads, my heart breaking for
them . . . I loved it!' Nikki May 'Sparkling prose and a
page-turning plot combined with wonderful storytelling . . . An
absolutely dazzling debut' Julie Owen Moylan 'From the first pages,
I was drawn into the worlds of Lily and Sook-Yin and the stories
that bind them together across the years. Wiz is a master
storyteller, weaving Lily and Sook-Yin's stories of belonging
together with elegance and wit' Ronali Collings 'Fresh, funny,
infuriating, heartbreaking - Ghost Girl, Banana is sure to be a
massive hit. I adored it' Emily Koch 'Captivating characters and
lucid prose' Melissa Fu
