Taiwanese‑American college freshman Lily Chen heads to an intensive summer language program in Taipei hoping to connect with her heritage. The promising start unravels as grueling classes, a chaotic roommate, and a reckless hot‑spring trip leave her feeling adrift. The sudden death of her grandfather forces Lily to confront unanswered family questions, sparking a poignant journey of grief, language barriers, and cultural dislocation. R. F. Kuang weaves a wry, moving coming‑of‑age tale that explores diaspora fantasies, the limits of language as a bridge, and the search for home amid family secrets.
