A beautiful and haunting family story about immigrant life as much as old world China, The Concubine's Children peels through the layers life with a husband with more than one wife. How does one make sure her children are not shorted and her affections are not taken for granted? The book's female characters resonate with both strength and pain and the historic family pictures make the vibrant descriptions even more real. Author Denise Chong captures her family history in full -- both critical study and humanizing narrative.
