** THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER **'Insightful and
heartfelt' GLAMOUR'Easy to inhale' GUARDIAN'Mesmerizing' BRIT
BENNETT, author of THE VANISHING HALF***New York City, 1999. Lily
Chen is an unpaid intern, pursuing the American Dream, when she
falls for a young financier – and the life of luxury his vast
fortune promises. Everything she wants seems to finally be within
reach.But deep down, she knows that her ambitious scientist mother,
Mei, imagined so much more for her when she fled the unspoken
horrors of Mao’s cultural revolution. Twenty years later, Lily is a
single parent, estranged from her own family and increasingly
isolated from her teenage son, Nick. Desperate to break free from
their life on a remote island in Washington State, Nick strives to
live better than the generation before him, unable to understand
his mother’s choices.But when he looks into the past and is
unexpectedly confronted by the ghosts of his grandmother’s young
life in 1960s China, he risks unsettling a legacy of family secrets
– passed on from mother, to daughter, to son. Following three
generations of one Chinese American family, REAL AMERICANS is a
mesmerising, multilayered family drama which explores the choices
we make for ourselves, and for our children. Spanning decades and
continents, it is a soaring, heartfelt story about fate, fortune,
and what it means to belong.***'Traverses time with verve and
