Description

If your family doesn't communicate about their sentiments, how do you grieve? After her father passes away, the unnamed protagonist of GhostForest muses over this. He is one of the numerous "astronaut" fathers from Hong Kong who works there while the rest of the family moved to Canada before the 1997 Handover, when the British handed back control of Hong Kong to China. She struggles with unanswered questions and misconceptions as she revisits memories of her father over the years. When she asks her mother and grandmother for clarification, she finds that their stories vividly reflect her own. Ghost Forest is a short book that is buoyant and tragic, engulfing the reader in both happiness and pain. Fung writes in a beautiful and melancholic style, combining abstraction with detail, and intertwining.
