8 Lives of a Century-Old Trickster (2023)
Mirinae Lee
"A turbulent novel traversing decades of Korean history, 8 Lives of a Century-Old Trickster interrogates love, identity, betrayal, and everything it takes for one shape-shifting "trickster" to survive. Lee writes with sharp, ferocious energy, and I was riveted from the first page. An exquisitely accomplished debut."
Peach Blossom Spring (2022)
Melissa Fu
"Melissa Fu chronicles a tumultuous period in Chinese history with stunning grace, while also offering us a fresh and important take on the immigrant story. In Dao Renshu's family journey - fleeing from China during WWII, then finding and refinding himself in America - I recognized so many pieces of my own. Captivating from beginning to end."
Fifty Words for Rain (2020)
Asha Lemmie
"From page one, I was rooting for Nori, the illegitimate daughter of a Japanese aristocrat and an African-American soldier. Shackled by family condemnation and the prejudices of post-WWII Japan, Nori must transform from docile young girl into fierce, unapologetic heroine. A wholly immersive coming-of-age epic from a talented young writer--Asha Lemmie pours her passion onto the page."
