Résumé
Real Americans begins in New York City on the precipice of Y2K, when twenty-two-year-old Lily Chen, an unpaid intern at a slick media company, meets Matthew, who is everything she's not : poised, confident, and, most notably, heir to a vast pharmaceutical empire. Raised in Tampa, Lily is the only child of scientists who fled Mao's Cultural Revolution. Despite their differences, Lily and Matthew fall in love.
In 2021, fifteen-year-old Nick Chen feels like an outsider on the isolated Washington island where he lives with his single mother, Lily. He can't shake the sense she's hiding something. When Nick sets out to find his biological father, the quest threatens to raise more questions than it provides answers. In immersive, moving prose, Rachel Khong weaves a profound tale of class and striving, race and visibility, and family and inheritance - a story of trust, forgiveness, and finally coming home.
Real Americans examines the forces that roil our new century : Are we destined or made ? And, if the latter, who gets to do the making ?
