About the Book

Product DescriptionAn exuberant and wise multigenerational debut novel about the complicated lives and loves of people working in a local Chinese restaurant. The popular Beijing duck house in Rockville, Maryland has been serving devoted regulars for decades, but behind the staff's professional masks simmer tensions, heartaches and grudges from decades of grueling service work.ReviewSo expertly does first-time novelist Lillian Li conjure the Beijing Duck House, a gaudy, tatterdemalion restaurant in Rockville, Md., that readers of Number One Chinese Restaurant can almost taste its signature dish and feel the heat of its woks... By turns darkly funny and heartbreaking ?The Wall Street JournalLillian Li is a brilliant young writer and someone to watch. Her work understands human secrets generally as well as secret places both in the world and in the mind; her narratives are complex, mysterious, moving, and surprising -- Lorrie MooreWith its deliciously depicted restaurant setting and knowing perspective on Chinese-American culture, this novel is two-thirds cultural comedy. The other third is something deeper and sadder.
