In 1938, when the Japanese arrived in Huan Hsu's great-great-grandfather Liu's Yangtze River hometown of Xingang, Liu was forced to bury his valuables, including a vast collection of prized antique porcelain, and undertake a decades-long trek that would splinter the family over thousands of miles. Many years and upheavals later, Hsu, raised in Salt Lake City and armed only with curiosity, moves to China to work in his uncle's semiconductor chip business.

Deeply Rewarding
Revisado: 03-28-15
Literary non-fiction is a difficult genre to pull off but Huan Hsu has done a masterful job of weaving together the immensely complex histories of his family, himself, Imperial porcelain and China. An absolutely compelling book. And now I'm going to listen to it again.
