Real Americans PDF by Rachel Khong is a true intergenerational Chinese-American novel that spans decades and cities and POVs, sitting somewhere between reality and fantasy (my favorite kind of place).
REAL AMERICANS follows three POVs and timelines: Lily Chen, daughter of Chinese immigrants; Lily’s son, Nick and Lily’s mother, Mei.
This book is beautifully written and will immediately pique your interest in the characters and where this story will take them.
It is told from multiple POVs—Lily, Nick, and Mei—with my favorite being Lily’s, though all three are wonderful in their own way. Lily is so ambitious and hardworking that I wanted to reach out and give her a hug.
I felt so bad for Nick in parts, and I wanted him to be able to find his own life and a way to be happy with how things were. Mei’s story was sad and reflective, but also filled with hope and wonder.
I will say that this book is not at all what I expected, but in a good way, and I ended up liking it more than I initially thought I would.
I love that even though the book is told from multiple POVs and multiple timelines, they all come together in the end, giving you a new perspective on each character.
I look forward to reading more from this author.
