Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts NATIONAL BOOK CRITICS CIRCLE AWARD WINNER • NATIONAL BESTSELLER

With this book, the acclaimed author created an entirely new form—an exhilarating blend of autobiography and mythology, of world and self, of hot rage and cool analysis. First published in 1976, it has become a classic in its innovative portrayal of multiple and intersecting identities—immigrant, female, Chinese, American. 

A classic, for a reason – Celeste Ng via Twitter

As a girl, Kingston lives in two confounding worlds: the California to which her parents have immigrated and the China of her mothers talk stories. Tshe fierce and wily women warriors of her mothers tales clash jarringly with the harsh reality of female oppression out of which they come. Kingstons sense of self emerges in the mystifying gaps in these stories, which she learns to fill with stories of her own. A warrior of words, she forges fractured myths and memories into an incandescent whole, achieving a new understanding of her family’s past and her own present.
