“Su Chang’s 'The Immortal Women' traces the threads of women damaged by history, carrying their wounds forward across generations to unwittingly warp their most intimate bonds. This tender and heartbreaking excavation forms a portrait of a mother and daughter fractured first by their past, then again by the weight of dreams they could not live up to in the present...a testament to the dangers of history, and the power of words to both wound and heal.” - Tessa Hulls, Pulitzer Prize Winner
