River East, River West (2024)
A novel by Aube Rey Lescure

A darkly glittering debut that traces a mixed family¡¯s troubled trajectory through developing China.

Shanghai, 2007: feeling betrayed by her American mother¡¯s engagement to their rich landlord Lu Fang, fourteen-year-old Alva begins plotting her escape. But the exclusive American School ¨C a potential ticket out ¨C is not what she imagined.

Qingdao, 1985: newlywed Lu Fang works as a lowly shipping clerk. Though he aspires to a bright future, he is one of many casualties of harsh political reforms. Then China opens up to foreigners and capital, and Lu Fang meets a woman who makes him question what he should settle for.

A mesmerising reversal of the east¨Cwest immigrant narrative set against China¡¯s economic boom, River East, River West is a deeply moving exploration of race, identity and family, of capitalism¡¯s false promise and private dreams.
