“We are curious creatures, we Taiwanese. Orphans. Eventually, orphans must choose their own names and write their own stories. The beauty of orphanhood is the blank slate.”

“I understand,” she says, and then she quotes Du Fu: “The country is broken, but the mountains and rivers remain.” Her eyes flash; he catches sight of the fire in this modest woman. “We are the mountains and rivers,” he says, impressed. “No matter what the country is called.”

Shawna Yang Ryan's LOCKE 1928, which weaves history and mythology around
a community of Chinese immigrants in a small California town in 1928,
exploring the lives of a beautiful young prostitute in love with the
preacher's daughter; a husband and wife mysteriously reunited after ten
years; a lovesick brothel owner who can see into the past and the
future, and the ghosts haunting them all, to Jane Fleming at Penguin
Press, at auction, by Daniel Lazar at Writers House (NA).
