{"product_id":"real-americans-1","title":"Real Americans","description":"\u003cp\u003eNew York City, 1999. Lily Chen is an unpaid intern, pursuing the American Dream, when she falls for a young financier – and the life of luxury his vast fortune promises. Everything she wants seems to finally be within reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut deep down, she knows that her ambitious scientist mother, Mei, imagined so much more for her when she fled the unspoken horrors of Mao’s cultural revolution. Twenty years later, Lily is a single parent, estranged from her own family and increasingly isolated from her teenage son, Nick. Desperate to break free from their life on a remote island in Washington State, Nick strives to live better than the generation before him, unable to understand his mother’s choices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBut when he looks into the past and is unexpectedly confronted by the ghosts of his grandmother’s young life in 1960s China, he risks unsettling a legacy of family secrets – passed on from mother, to daughter, to son. Following three generations of one Chinese American family, REAL AMERICANS is a mesmerising, multilayered family drama which explores the choices we make for ourselves, and for our children. Spanning decades and continents, it is a soaring, heartfelt story about fate, fortune, and what it means to belong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003ePublished: 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003ePublisher: Cornerstone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003ePages: 416\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003eLanguage: English\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003eISBN 10: 1804945366\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: 'Nunito Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 13px;\"\u003eISBN 13: 9781804945360\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rachel Khong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52088196989194,"sku":null,"price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/files\/9781804945360.jpg?v=1762594129","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/real-americans-1","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
