Résumé
AN INSTANT NATIONAL BESTSELLER. From the bestselling author of Superfan comes a haunting novel about the demons passed down through five generations of women in a Chinese Canadian family, and what it might take for them to finally break free of the past. Will you break your mother's curse before it consumes you?Single mother Alice Chow is drowning. With a booming online business, a resentful teenage daughter, a screen-obsessed son, and a secret boyfriend, she can never get everything done in a day. So it's a relief when Alice wakes up one morning to find the counters are clear, the kids' rooms are tidy, and orders are neatly packed and labelled.
But she doesn't remember staying up late to take care of things. As the strange pattern continues, she realizes someone-or something-has been doing her chores for her. Alice knows she should feel uneasy, but the extra time lets her connect with her children and with her hard-edged mother, who has started to share shocking stories from their family history-beginning with the horrors that befell her great-grandmother, who was imprisoned as a comfort woman in Hong Kong during the Second World War.
But the family's demons-both real and subconscious, old and new-are about to become impossible to ignore. Set against the gleaming backdrop of contemporary Vancouver, The Hunger We Pass Down is a devastating, horror-tinged novel about how unspoken legacies of violence can shape a family. It follows the relentless spectre of intergenerational trauma as it is handed down from mother to daughter, and asks what it might take to break the cycle-heroism, depravity, or both.
