Hardback. Condizione: Very Good. National Book Award-winner Ha Jin brings us a collection of stories that delve into the experiences of Chinese immigrants in America.

In each of these deeply moving, acutely insightful, and often strikingly humorous stories we are reminded again of the storytelling prowess of this superb writer.…
