Do Not Say We Have Nothing: A Novel
Madeleine Thien“In a single year, my father left us twice. The first time, to end his marriage, & the second, when he took his own life. I was ten years old.”
Madeleine Thein’s gripping evocation of the persuasive power of revolution & its effects on personal & national identity: this new novel is breathtaking in scope & ambition even as it is hauntingly intimate.
Canada 1991. Ten-year-old Marie & her mother invite a guest into their home: a young woman who has fled China in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square protests. Through the sharing of the woman’s family story, Madeleine Thein brings to life one of the most significant political regimes of the 20th century & its traumatic legacy, which still resonates for a new generation.
"...a beautiful, sorrowful work. The book impresses in many senses: It stamps the memory with an afterimage; it successfully explores larger ideas about politics & art; it has the satisfying, epic sweep of a 19th-century Russian novel, spanning three generations & lapping up against the shores of two continents ... The larger saga unfurls like silk — & proves similarly resistant to knots, a testament to Ms Thien’s storytelling skills... Ms Thien captures painfully well the depersonalization & numbness of living through the Cultural Revolution." - Jennifer Senior, The New York Times
