Four Treasures of the Sky

In her debut novel "Four Treasures of the Sky," Jenny Tinghui Zhang tells the poignant story of Daiyu, a Chinese girl kidnapped and brought to America in the 1880s, where she must navigate a landscape fraught with anti-Chinese sentiment and violence. As Daiyu faces a series of challenges—from calligraphy school to a San Francisco brothel to a mountain shop in Idaho—she continually reinvents herself to survive, ultimately seeking to reclaim her identity amidst her struggles. Narrated beautifully by Katharine Chin, the audiobook includes a bonus conversation between the author and editor, enriching the experience of this powerful exploration of identity, love, and belonging against a backdrop of historical injustices.
