Ba dies in the night; Ma is already gone. Newly orphaned children of immigrants\, Lucy and Sam are suddenly alone in a land that refutes their existence. 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 and the specters of a ravaged landscape\, as well as family secrets\, sibling rivalry\, and glimpses of a different kind of future.\nBoth epic and intimate\, blending Chinese symbolism and re-imagined history with fiercely original language and storytelling\, How Much of These Hills Is Gold is a haunting adventure story\, an unforgettable sibling story\, and the announcement of a stunning new voice in literature. \nAbout the author:\nBorn in Beijing but mostly an artifact of the United States\, C Pam Zhang has lived in thirteen cities across four countries and is still looking for home. She’s been awarded support from Tin House\, Bread Loaf\, Aspen Words and elsewhere\, and currently lives in San Francisco.
