Mona in the Promised Land: A Novel | Gish Jen

2 posts | 8 read | 4 to read

In 1968, the Chang family moves to posh Scarshill, New York, where the rhodendrons are as big as the Chang family's old bathroom, and nobody trims the forsythia into little can shapes. This takes some getting used to--especially since there's also a new social landscape, with a hot line, a mystery caller, and a temple youth group full of radical ideas. From the author of Typical American.

This book written long ago was my first exposure to Asian American literature. It moved me because it reminded me of my years growing up. It reminded me of the expectations of achievement that my parents placed on me. And it brought me the love of my life.
