This month's selection\, "Four Treasures o f the Sky" is by Jenny Zhang. Daiyu never wanted to be like the tragic her oine for whom she was named\, revered for her beauty and cursed with heart break. But when she is kidnapped and smuggled across an ocean from China t o America\, Daiyu must relinquish the home and future she imagined for her self. Over the years that follow\, she is forced to keep reinventing herse lf to survive. From a calligraphy school to a San Francisco brothel\, to a shop tucked into the Idaho mountains\, we follow Daiyu on a desperate que st to outrun the tragedy that chases her. As anti-Chinese sentiment sweeps across the country in a wave of unimaginable violence\, Daiyu must draw o n each of the selves she has been-including the ones she most wants to lea ve behind-in order to finally claim her own name and story. At once a lite rary tour de force and a groundbreaking work of historical fiction\, Four Treasures of the Sky announces Jenny Tinghui Zhang as an indelible new voi ce. Steeped in untold history and Chinese folklore\, this novel is a spell binding feat.
