The moving new novel from Rebecca F. Kuang, the global bestselling author of Yellowface and Babel.

When Yale freshman Lily Chen arrives in Taipei for a summer language program, she expects to connect with her heritage. Instead, she finds herself isolated by grueling classes, culture shock, and sudden family grief. Adrift and caught between the past and present, Lily embarks on a wryly humorous search for identity, exploring first love, second languages, and what it truly means to find home.
