Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In the best-selling tradition of The Color of Water comes a beautifully written, evocative memoir of a relationship between a mother and son-- and the Chinese-American experience
In The Eighth Promise, author William Poy Lee gives us a rare view of the Asian-American experience from a mother-son perspective. His moving and complex story of growing up in the housing projects of San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1960s and ' 70s unfolds in two voices-- the author's own and that of his mother-- to provide a sense of tradition and culture. It is a stunning tale of murder, injustice, fortitude, and survival. Already, this exquisitely wrought memoir is garnering rave notices.
Synopsis:
Lee pens a beautifully written, evocative memoir of a relationship between a mother and son--and the Chinese-American experience--in this moving and complex story of growing up in the housing projects of San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1960s and '70s.
