About this item
Rachel Khong's "Real Americans" is a multi-generational exploration of identity and destiny, spanning from Y2K-era New York to present-day Washington state. At its heart is Lily Chen, a young woman from Tampa, raised by Chinese immigrant scientists. When she falls for Matthew, heir to a pharmaceutical empire, their differing backgrounds ignite a love story that defies expectations.

Fast forward to 2021, and Lily's son, Nick, feels out of place on a remote island with his mother. He embarks on a quest to find his biological father, uncovering secrets that challenge his understanding of family and belonging.

Khong's prose is immersive and poignant, delving into themes of class, race, and the complexities of inheritance. Lily's journey from humble beginnings to the heights of New York's media world, contrasted with Nick's search for his roots, offers a rich tapestry of human experience.

The novel grapples with questions of fate versus agency, exploring whether our destinies are predetermined or shaped by our choices. As Nick seeks his father, he confronts the idea that our genetic pasts may influence our futures, but they need not define us.

"Real Americans" is a testament to resilience and the power of forgiveness, as characters navigate the intersections of race, privilege, and family legacy. Khong's storytelling is both exuberant and explosive, inviting readers to ponder who holds the power to shape our lives and whether we can transcend the constraints of our upbringing.

In its exploration of identity and belonging, "Real Americans" challenges us to consider the forces that mold us and the possibility of forging our own paths, independent of our genetic inheritance.
