Book Title:Beautiful Country
Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang The New York Times bestselling memoir a girl who learns to live – and then escape – an invisible lifeIn China she was the daughter of professors. In Brooklyn her family is illegal.Qian is seven when she moves to America, the Beautiful Country, where she and her parents find that the roads of New York City are not paved with gold, but crushing fear and scarcity. Unable to speak English at first, Qian and her parents must work wherever they can to survive, all while she battles hunger and loneliness at school. Thus begins an extraordinary story that describes days labouring in sweatshops and sushi factories, nights scavenging the streets for furniture, and the terrifying moment when the family emerges from the shadows to seek emergency medical treatment for Qians mother.Qian Julie Wangs memoir is an unforgettable account of what it means to live under the perpetual threat of deportation and the small joys and sheer determination that kept her family afloat in a new land. Told from a childs perspective, in a voice that is intimate, poignant and startlingly lyrical, Beautiful Country is the story of a girl who learns first to live – and then escape – an invisible life.
