Green Island

A Novel

von Ryan, Shawna Yang   (Autor)

Taipei, February 28, 1947: As an uprising rocks Taiwan, a young doctor is taken from his newborn daughter by Chinese Nationalists, on charges of speaking out against the government. Although he eventually returns to his family, his arrival is marked by alienation from his loved ones and paranoia among his community. Years later, this troubled past follows his youngest daughter to America, where, as a mother and a wife, she too is forced to decide between what is right and what might save her family-the same choice she witnessed her father make many years before. A stunningly lyrical story of a family and a nation grappling with the nuances of complicity and survival, Green Island raises the question: how far would you go for the ones you love?

Kritik

Ryan embraces the complexity of the situation, by not creating heroes but instead exploring the truth of compromise, survival and belonging. The New York Times

A tough, unsentimental, and moving novel that is a memorial not only to the heroes, but also to the survivors. Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer

Sweeping . . . as epic in scope as the story is intimate. The Arizona Republic

A chilling, convincing picture of Taiwan during the years of authoritarian rule. Los Angeles Times

Moving and suspenseful. . . . Full of compassion. Richmond Times-Dispatch
