Reviews for Four Treasures of the Sky: The compelling debut about identity and belonging in the 1880s American West
An engulfing, bighearted and heartbreaking novel. Illuminates shocking injustices, making us stop and consider how many survive to this day
Ann Patchett, author of Women's Prize longlisted The Dutch House An impressive and original debut
THE SUNDAY TIMES
A sweeping adventure of identity, love and belonging
C Pam Zhang, Man Booker longlisted author of How Much ... Read more Brilliant and devastating. Four Treasures of the Sky tells the story of Daiyu, who is brought to America against her will and forced to hide who she is even as she grows into her true self. Weaving together myth and history, Zhang's work is both timeless and utterly necessary right now.
Anna North, author of the New York Times bestseller Outlawed An instant and necessary classic, easily among the best novels of this past decade. The story lingers long after its final pages
T Kira Madden, author of Long Live the Tribe of Fatherless Girls An astonishing novel propelled by private and public histories, rich with reflections on self-making, moral calling, great love, and profound injustice
Megha Majumdar, author of A Burning This unforgettable novel dazzles. An exhilarating rush of character, history and storytelling
Kali Fajardo-Anstine, US National Book Award finalist author of Sabrina & Corina Brings alive a heroine for the ages, an indomitable teenage girl whose relentless spirit and self-reinvention carries this story. Daiyu is sure to take her place in the canon of great Western heroines next to True Grit's Mattie Ross
Juliet Grames, author of The Seven or Eight Deaths of Stella Fortuna This book is haunting, luscious and precise - it's historical fiction as we most want and need it to be. Four Treasures of the Sky paints a neglected chapter in history with sharp and devastating brushstrokes
Julia Fine, author of The Upstairs House A lyrical and sweeping Bildungsroman, fierce and moving
