Sour Heart by Jenny Tinghui Zhang
Stories
A collection of linked coming-of-age stories follows daughters of Chinese immigrant families in New York City and beyond, capturing the raw, funny, and sometimes grotesque realities of adolescence as they navigate cramped apartments, parental sacrifice, cultural dislocation, and the brutal intimacies of friendship. Through candid, energetic voices, it explores the push-pull of love and resentment within families, the translation between languages and identities, and the ways desire, shame, and hunger shape who we become in a new country.
