Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang

نویسنده: Qian Julie Wang

An incandescent memoir from an astonishing new talent, Beautiful Country puts readers in the shoes of an undocumented child living in poverty in the richest country in the world.

“Extraordinary…With immense skill, Wang parses how her family’s illegal status blighted nearly every aspect of their life, from pushing her parents’ marriage to the brink to compromising their health. While Wang’s story of pursuing the American dream is undoubtedly timeless, it’s her family’s triumph in the face of “xenophobia and intolerance” that makes it feel especially relevant today. Consider this remarkable memoir a new classic.”—Publishers Weekly, *Starred Review*

This is an unforgettable, raw, moving memoir about undocumented immigrants. In China, Qian’s parents were educated professionals. But, after coming illegally to America to escape Chinese oppression, they are forced into the under belly of undocumented immigrants in 1980s New York City. The amazing story tells the story of a young girl and her parents as they navigate the underworld of undocumented immigrants. Unforgettable read that was hard to put down. highly recommend- especially for book clubs. Becky McFarlane                                                                                      rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

Qian tells us her childhood story, immigrating to America from China at age seven, and her strategies of survival. This is a beautiful memoir. I inhaled it from the very beginning. Not only is her story interesting, but it also made me feel very thoughtful about her experience and feel even more empathetic towards the children of undocumented immigrants in the US.
