About This Book
After her more successful friend dies in a freak accident, a white author steals her unpublished manuscript about Chinese labourers in World War I and publishes it as her own. R.F. Kuang's satirical thriller is a wickedly sharp skewering of the publishing industry's relationship with race and authenticity.
