Description

 							
  
  February 28, 1947: Trapped inside
the family home amid an uprising that has rocked Taipei, Dr. Tsai delivers his youngest daughter, the unnamed narrator
of Green Island, just after midnight as the city is plunged into martial law. In the following weeks, as the Chinese
Nationalists act to crush the opposition, Dr. Tsai becomes one of the many thousands of people dragged away from their
families and thrown into prison. His return, after more than a decade, is marked by alienation from his loved ones and
paranoia among his community—conflicts that loom over the growing bond he forms with his youngest daughter. Years
later, this troubled past follows her to the United States, where, as a mother and a wife, she too is forced to decide
between what is right and what might save her family—the same choice she witnessed her father make many years
before. 
  
  As the novel sweeps across six decades and two continents, the life of the narrator shadows the
course of Taiwan’s history from the end of Japanese colonial rule to the decades under martial law and, finally,
to Taiwan’s transformation into a democracy. But, above all, Green Island is a lush and lyrical story of a family
and a nation grappling with the nuances of complicity and survival, raising the question: how far would you be willing
to go for the ones you love?
  
  PRAISE
  “A richly written and ambitious book . . . a
treat for redears of historical novels [that will] educate many . . . There is vivid realness in the writing, as though
one were reading the account of someone who was recollecting personal memory.” —Catalina Rebuyan, Malaysia
Star
   
  “This heartbreaking novel takes readers to an island with a history unknown to many: Taiwan.
Told in luscious prose, ‘Green Island’ teaches readers about the humanity of mankind, the brutality of
political power and unrest, and why some secrets are never told.” —Annie Philbrick, Bank Square Books,
Boston Globe “Pick of the Week” 
   
  “Precise and poetic . . . Ryan grants readers a
closer look at the deep connections between familial love and the inescapability of history, both personal and
political. This is a significant work, full of carefully researched detail that results in a moving and indelible
story.” —Publishers Weekly
  
  “A sweeping story, as epic in scope as the story is
intimate.” —Barbara VanDenburgh, The Arizona Republic
   
  “Gripping: a triumph of
sustained focus on unusually thorny material . . . But Green Island is much more than a historical novel. It’s
also a family epic.” —Claire Hopley, The Washington Times
  
  “At its heart this book is
about identity, how we draw our personal identity from the places we call home and how difficult that can be when the
identity of your home is uncertain. The authenticity of the writing, the ability to re-create the people and places of a
very particular and personal history is reminiscent of Jhumpa Lahiri and Junot Diaz. Shawna Yang Ryan finds a way to
incorporate this history into her narrative in a way that’s both compelling and accessible. . . Although the
novel is large in scope at no point does it feel overwhelming.” —Nicholas LaRousse, Everyday eBook 
 

  “An intricate, gracefully told tale that blends war history, suspense and a woman’s coming-of-age
and beyond. . . The pages bloom with description, with a photolike sense of place. . . And throughout Green Island is an
aching sense of the idea of home.” —Moira Macdonald, The Seattle Times
   
  “Remarkably
compelling. . . As much a gripping narrative of an evolving Taiwan as an exquisitely crafted story of one
family’s devotion and compromises.” —Janine Oshiro, Honolulu Star Advertiser
   
 
“Ryan paints a chilling, convincing picture of Taiwan [that] stands as a tribute to the flawed survivors of [its]
history.” —Steph Cha, Los Angeles Times
  
  “[An] engrossing epic. . . Absorbing and
affecting, this powerful tale explores the bond between a father and daughter, the compromises they are forced to make,
and the prices they pay in their quest for freedom.” —Kristine Huntley, Booklist (starred) 
  
 
“Epic. . . The narrative works movingly on many different levels but especially on the personal and the
political.” —Kirkus Reviews
  
  “Shawna Yang Ryan’s propulsive storytelling carries
us through a bloody time in Taiwanese history, its implications still reverberating today. The story is haunted by
questions about whether Taiwan is a part of China or its own country, what the costs are of standing up for one’s
beliefs and by the choices made by one father and his daughter. Green Island is a tough, unsentimental and moving novel
that is a memorial not only to the heroes, but also to the survivors.” —Viet Thanh Nguyen, author of The
Sympathizer
