Chinese-American healing journey shrouded in myth.

"Monkey King" could be an engaging read for you if you're interested in a deeply personal tale laced with cultural heritage. Patricia Chao weaves Sally's struggles with identity, trauma, and the complexities of family with a backdrop as mystical and evocative as the folklore figure it evokes. The book resonates with anyone who has ever grappled with reconciling different aspects of their self, especially when that process is as fraught as Sally's.

Description

Monkey King tells the story of 28-year-old Sally Wang, a Chinese-American woman whose mental breakdown and sojourn in a hospital set her firmly on the path of memory. Her recovery takes place against a rich tapestry of culture and personality that unfolds before our eyes under the Monkey King's ghostly shadow. For Sally has been living with a terrible family secret, one that has shattered her life. How she pulls together her Chinese and American identities into a cohesive self and rejoins the land of the living is recounted with a wry and refreshing honesty.
