TRANSOCEANIC LIGHTS tells of three families who immigrate to the US from post-Mao China. The unnamed narrator's overbearing mother is plagued with regret as financial burdens and lack of trust begin to rend apart her marriage. Her only solace lies in the distant promise of better lives for her children. Yet her son spends his days longing for the comfort and familiarity of his homeland, while his two cousins, one precocious and the other rambunctious, seem to assimilate effortlessly. Transoceanic Lights explores familial love and discord, the strains of displacement, and the elusive nature of the American Dream."Here they come, fresh off the flight from China: The father, Ba, the mother, Ma, and their only child, unnamed; we'll call him Son. Son is 5, the same age the Chinese-American author was on his arrival in the U.S.; the novel has a strong autobiographical flavor."--Kirkus
