Monkey king

Sally's recovery takes place against a rich tapestry of culture and personality that unfolds before our eyes under the ghostly shadow of the "Monkey King." For Sally has been living with a terrible family secret, and it is this burden that shattered her life. How she comes to terms with this betrayal and integrates her Chinese and American parts into a coherent personality are recounted with an honesty that is at once wry and refreshing. "Monkey King" is a stunning and memorable debut from a beautiful new writer."Clearly, Monkey King marks the debut of a gifted stylist with a penetrating eye for detail."
