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《中國女孩耶魯夢》這本書是一本半自傳小說,是一個中國女孩的美國奮鬥史,內容簡單可以概括為: 身在美國的貧窮中國女孩,最終成長為耶魯大學的高材生。因為一場傢庭變故,11歲的阿金不得不隨母親到美國投靠親戚。然而,在這個看起來遍地都是黃金和夢想的國傢,迎接她的是前所...
評分不知為何,看完這本書我的心久久不能平靜,從身體到心靈的震撼無法言語。書片中的她——阿金,是如此平凡,齣生在一個並不美滿甚至是糟糕的傢庭,年幼的她默默承受著一切。 我覺得這本書沒有冠冕堂皇的大道理,卻是一部真實的勵誌傳記。還真實反映瞭一個人的善良心靈。它寫瞭一...
