Jamie Ford is the author of The Many Daughters Of Afong Moy. This is the same author who wrote Hotel On The Corner Of Bitter And Sweet and I loved, loved, loved that book. I liked this book but didn't love it. Afong Moy was the first Chinese woman to set foot in the United States. Each generation of her descendants has a story in the book all the way to Dorothy Moy who lives in the future (2045). Dorothy has memories of her ancestors that affect her brain and cause depression. She is seeking a modern treatment involving epigenetics. The novel does not progress chronologically but weaves back and forth in time which can be confusing at times.
