A novel of searing intelligence and startling originality, Lost in Translation heralds the debut of a unique new voice on the literary landscape. Nicole Mones creates an unforgettable story of love and desire, of family ties and human conflict, and of one woman's struggle to lose herself in a foreign land - only to discover her home, her heart, herself.

Wonderful!

We loved the story, the true depiction of how people's experiences color their choices in life, the complex human emotions, AND, most especially, the language. Beautifully written, the book allows English-speakers to get a glimpse of Chinese culture and Chinese soul through the incredible translations. ("Given" in translation, not "lost.")
The reading by Angela Lin is exceptional and nuanced.
