Feeding Ghosts: A Graphic Memoir
$25.16 online at Bookshop.org
Tessa Hulls's graphic memoir follows three generations of Chinese women. Grandmother Sun Yi, a Shanghai journalist caught in the 1949 Communist victory, endures years of persecution before fleeing to Hong Kong with her daughter Rose. There she writes a bestselling memoir of survival, then suffers a breakdown from which she never recovers. Rose later brings her to America on a scholarship life. Growing up, Tessa watches mother and grandmother struggle under unexamined trauma and mental illness, then bolts to the farthest corners of the globe. At thirty, roaming feels less like freedom than running away. Feeding Ghosts is her homecoming: a journey into family history against the dark backdrop of modern Chinese politics, exposing the fear that haunts generations and the love that still holds them together.
