EP 491: Eve J. Chung On Her Debut Novel "Daughters Of Shandong"
Manage episode 434874918 series 79040
Asian American author Eve J. Chung spent the first years of her life in Taiwan with her grandmother. In their shared space, Eve remembers a woman who loved her fiercely; hoarded food and fed her family fat-rich chicken skins; and used a heat lamp on her knees every night while watching Chinese period dramas. As Eve got older, she recognized these habits as remnants of her grandmother's harrowing escape from China during the country's Communist Revolution in the 1940s, and of the starvation and physical punishment that she endured at just thirteen years old as she walked to freedom.
Daughters of Shandong is Eve's family story: it's a fictionalized account very much inspired by her grandmother's past and how she carried that past with her for the rest of her life. This is a family saga that will grab the heart of any reader seeking new perspectives on history told with gorgeous prose, propulsive storytelling, and relatable characters.
