Weekend Giveaway: THE LEAVERS By Lisa Ko
This weekend giveaway is sponsored by The Leavers by Lisa Ko, the new PEN/Bellwether winner.
Lisa Ko’s powerful debut, The Leavers, is the winner of the 2016 PEN/Bellwether Prize for Fiction to a novel that addresses issues of social justice.
One morning, Deming Guo’s mother, Polly, an undocumented Chinese immigrant, goes to her job at a Bronx nail salon—and never comes home. No one can find any trace of her.
Eleven-year-old Deming is left mystified and bereft. A pair of well-meaning white professors eventually adopt Deming, renaming him Daniel Wilkinson and moving him to a small town. Daniel struggles to reconcile their desire that he assimilate with his memories of his mother. Told from the perspective of Daniel—as he grows into a directionless young man—and Polly, who is forced to make one heartwrenching choice after another.
