Krátky popis
'[Homeseeking] weaves expertly between present and past, telling
the story of childhood sweethearts who meet again late in life and
are torn between looking back and moving on' - Celeste Ng'A love
story in more ways than one, Homeseeking is a beautiful, nuanced
look at Chinese history, family, young love, and the wisdom of age'
- Vanessa ChanThere are moments when a single choice can define an
entire life. Haiwen and Suchi are teenage sweethearts in 1940s
Shanghai, their childhood friendship has blossomed into young love,
and they believe that they are soulmates. But when Haiwen secretly
decides to enlist in the army to keep his brother from the draft,
their shared future is shattered.Their paths take them far afield
from each other, with the exception of one pivotal chance encounter
on the Hong Kong ferry in 1966. Sixty years later, Haiwen, now in
his late seventies, is bagging bananas at a 99 Ranch in Los Angeles
when he lifts his head to once more see Suchi. As they begin to
rekindle their friendship, it feels like they might have a second
chance to live the life they were supposed to have together.But the
weight of the past lives with them at every moment, and only time
will tell if they are able to forge something new. Told in
alternating narratives, Homeseeking spans seven decades, through
the most tumultuous period of modern Chinese history up to
contemporary times, tracing the separated lovers as they migrate
from Shanghai to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and America.
