Gold Hills: A Novel for All
A NATIONAL BOOK FOUNDATION "5 UNDER 35" HONOREE, A FINALIST FOR THE 2020 CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE, and the WINNER OF THE ROSENTHAL FAMILY FOUNDATION AWARD FROM THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ARTS AND LETTERS, "How Much of These Hills Is Gold" is a debut novel that has been named a NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR by both THE NEW YORK TIMES and THE WASHINGTON POST, and was one of BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF THE YEAR as well as one of NPR'S BEST BOOKS OF 2020. Longlisted for the 2020 BOOKER PRIZE, this electric debut novel is set against the twilight of the American gold rush, where two siblings, Lucy and Sam, are on the run in an unforgiving landscape, trying not just to survive but to find a home.
Newly orphaned children of immigrants, Lucy and Sam are suddenly alone in a land that refutes their existence after the deaths of their parents, Ba and Ma. Fleeing the threats of their western mining town, they set off to bury their father in the only way that will set them free from their past. Along the way, they encounter giant buffalo bones, tiger paw prints, and the specters of a ravaged landscape, as well as family secrets, sibling rivalry, and glimpses of a different kind of future.
Both epic and intimate, "How Much of These Hills Is Gold" blends Chinese symbolism and reimagined history with fiercely original language and storytelling, creating a haunting adventure story, an unforgettable sibling story, and the announcement of a stunning new voice in literature. On a broad level, the novel explores race in an expanding country and the question of where immigrants are allowed to belong, but page by page, it's about the memories that bind and divide families, and the yearning for home.
Described as "outstanding" by The Washington Post and "revolutionary...a visionary addition to American literature" by the Star Tribune, this debut novel from C Pam Zhang has been praised as belonging "on a shelf all of its own" by NPR, showcasing the author's masterful use of language and storytelling to create a work that is both deeply personal and profoundly universal.
