SPANNING SEVEN DECADES and set in China and America against a backdrop of political chaos and social upheaval, this arresting debut novel tells a timeless story of familial devotion undermined by deceit and passion, and rebuilt by memory.
"The story, which moves from mainland China to Taiwan to California and New York, is foreign in its historical sweep and social detail but universal in its emotional truth." -BOSTON GLOBE
"Chang fulfills the promise of her haunting short-story collection, Hunger, with an elegant first novel that seems impossibly wise about the strictures of love and culture." -Joanne Wilkinson, BOOKLIST
"[Chang's] novel sprawls across a broad canvas of history, yet is constructed from exquisite intimacies. Inheritance is elegiac and haunting, written with subtlety and grace, and powered as much by what is said as by what is left unsaid . . . [a] shimmering pearl of a novel."
-Robert Weibezahl, BOOK PAGE
