I was utterly transfixed by this book.With extraordinary relevance and renewed popularity, George Orwell’s 1984 takes on new life in this hardcover edition. A cast of characters both flawed and fascinating. Kim Fu explores the lifelong ripple effects of tragedy, writing with wit, heart and precision. This is a novel that contains everything anyone could ever want: heartbreak, sly humour, bear cubs, and Fu's wise and steady hand to make sense of it all." -Jen Sookfong Lee, author of The Conjoined "Stunning.
Kim Fu lovingly circles around girlhood and womanhood, following the threads that connect old traumas to new ones, and the hurts that shape us, even when we wish they wouldn't. The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore is a thoroughly compelling story, and Kim Fu is an assured and intelligent guide." -Arna Bontemps Hemenway, author of Elegy on Kinderklavier "I devoured The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore.
This book is one you won't soon forget." -Angelica Baker, author of Our Little Racket "A startling and clear-sighted examination of the way a single event between children can become a galaxy of trauma, fate, and wonder that spins all the way through adulthood. As in her first novel, she writes with a fierce, unflinching clarity about the myriad small guilts, cruelties, frailties, and betrayals we all carry with us. Fu traces those orbits with a master astronomer's care and keen observation, mapping in strikingly clear and rich prose a hidden universe of girlhood and becoming." -Michelle Orange, author of This Is Running for Your Life "Kim Fu has woven a story both expansive and intimate, charting the ways that five women who meet briefly as children will ultimately haunt one another for a lifetime. The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore maps the journey from girlhood to womanhood, radiating both nostalgia and hope." -Hala Alyan, author of Salt Houses "The five characters in Kim Fu's dark, deftly woven fable align and disperse like planets, bound in their separate orbits to a shared and perhaps definitive moment in time. Readers will delight in the complicated, brash, ugly, and sincere presentation of Fu's characters." - Booklist "For readers interested in evolving friendships and stories that move forward and backward in time, this book is sure to be a hit." - Bookish, "Winter 2018 Fiction Preview" "A vivid and haunting story of lives interrupted by tragedy. An ambitious and dynamic portrayal of the harm humans-even young girls-can do." - Kirkus Reviews "Sharp. With rawness and objectivity, Fu depicts the women these girls become along with their struggles, both cosmic and mundane. Kim Fu skillfully measures how long and loudly one formative moment can reverberate." -Celeste Ng, bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere "Fu's characters are rich, real, and distinct. The Lost Girls of Camp Forevermore is a sensitive, evocative exploration of how the past threads itself through our lives, reemerging in unexpected ways.
