Sour heart : stories

More about the book

"Centered on a community of immigrants precariously balanced on the edge of poverty in 1990s New York City, the stories that make up Sour heart examine the ways that family and history can weigh us down, but also lift us up. From the young woman coming to terms with her grandmother's role in the Cultural Revolution, to the daughter struggling to understand where her parents end and she begins - these vibrant, raw, powerful stories introduce a brazen and singular new voice."--Page 4 of cover
