Home Remedies by Xuan Juliana Wang
4.0
'Home Remedies' by Xuan Juliana Wang is a debut collection of 12 stories featuring immigrants, families and people from China.
There are quite a wide variety of characters in this collection, from a duo of gay synchronized divers preparing for the Beijing Olympics to a father and daughter who change roles when they arrive in a new culture. There is time travel and stories of the wealthy.
This is a pretty interesting collection because it features a variety of characters and they all feel fully formed. The author has a grasp of character that is impressive. I have my favorites, as well as a couple I was less impressed with, but overall, this is a striking debut by a new voice.
