In The Many Daughters of Afong Moy, Jamie Ford takes us through two hundred years-worth of the descendants of the woman known as the first Chinese person to come to the United States. In a swiftly changing world, Afong’s many female descendants grapple with personal issues, hardships due to climate change, war, and social norms, and generational family trauma that haunts them in a very real way. Exploring epigenetics, trauma, perilous relationships, and the fantastic, this speculative-literary blend had me from the first page—literally the author’s note at the beginning of the book!
