Quote by Su Tong

“Spesso sorvolo in sogno il mio lontano paese ntale, Fengyangshu. Mi vedo avvicinarmi ogni giorno di più a un fiume dalle acque torbide, che scorre da est a ovest. Lo attraverso dirigendomi verso la riva sinistra, dove i campi di papavero creano una possente onda rossa che si gonfia con il vento, e mi afferra, mi solleva, e mi sospinge verso quella Fengyangshu dove sono nato.”

“They were great parents, and I saw them as often as I could, which is to say holidays and an occasional weekend. A typical twenty-something, I enjoyed my independence. But my parents were there when I needed them, always there. The idea that I would someday have to walk this earth without their anchor and misguided guidance made me wince, to say nothing of losing both of them at only eighteen. I was glad Simon seemed to have good friends and such a powerful advocate as Benjamin watching out for him. But as close as friends and lovers could be, there was something about belonging to someone completely that gave you roots—roots you sometimes needed when the world battled against you.”

“This is, ultimately, a book about home. [...] I hope this book carries you somewhere magical. I hope it lets you feel ocean breezes in your hair and smell spilled beer on a karaoke bar’s floor. And then I hope it brings you back. That it brings you home, and fills you with ferocious gratitude for the people you love. Because, really, it’s less about the places we go than the people we meet along the way. But most of all, it’s about the ones who stay, who become home.”
