Introducing a fresh, exciting Chinese-American voice, an inspiring debut about an immigrant girl forced to choose between two worlds and two futures.
When Kimberly Chang and her mother emigrate from Hong Kong to Brooklyn squalor, she quickly begins a secret double life: exceptional schoolgirl during the day, Chinatown sweatshop worker in the evenings. Disguising the more difficult truths of her life-like the staggering degree of her poverty, the weight of her family's future resting on her shoulders, or her secret love for a factory boy who shares none of her talent or ambition-Kimberly learns to constantly translate not just her language but herself back and forth between the worlds she straddles.
Through Kimberly's story, author Jean Kwok, who also emigrated from Hong Kong as a young girl, brings to the page the lives of countless immigrants who are caught between the pressure to succeed in America, their duty to their family, and their own personal desires, exposing a world that we rarely hear about. Written in an indelible voice that dramatizes the tensions of an immigrant girl growing up between two cultures, surrounded by a language and world only half understood, Girl in Translation is an unforgettable and classic novel of an American immigrant-a moving tale of hardship and triumph, heartbreak and love, and all that gets lost in translation.

評分用这个评论标题似乎有点过火,可是读完这本美籍华人郭珍芳以自己的真实人生而写就的《中国女孩耶鲁梦》,我的感受就是如此。我们很容易羡慕美籍华人的生活,就算已经了解过他们的艰辛奋斗史,这种羡慕也是在所难免。这本自传体的女孩成长史彻底扭转了我的想法,真的是没...
評分《中国女孩耶鲁梦》这本书是一本半自传小说,是一个中国女孩的美国奋斗史,内容简单可以概括为: 身在美国的贫穷中国女孩,最终成长为耶鲁大学的高材生。因为一场家庭变故,11岁的阿金不得不随母亲到美国投靠亲戚。然而,在这个看起来遍地都是黄金和梦想的国家,迎接她的是前所...
評分A so explicitly written novel about a chinese girl's strugling study and living life in USA. Deep, reasonable and enlightening, making one question American dream worth or not. One unsatisfying elements of the story is the abortion part---since she did have...
