The Many Daughters of Afong Moy | Retro Reads Bookstore

A poignant and unique novel about generational trauma among the women of a Chinese American family. Each woman tells her own story, with each trauma ultimately faced and integrated by one character who lives in 2045. The mix of psychology, science fiction, history and poetry is very satisfying.
