Book Discussion: Dandelion

Over the next four weeks, read Dandelion by Jamie Chai Yun Liew, then meet with others to share thoughts and impressions in a librarian-led discussion.

"When Lily was eleven years old, her mother, Swee Hua, walked away from the family, never to be seen or heard from again. She recalls the spring of 1987, growing up in a small British Columbia mining town where there were only a handful of Asian families; Lily's previously stateless father wanted them to blend seamlessly into Canadian life, while her mother, alienated and isolated, longed to return to Brunei. Years later, still affected by Swee Hua's disappearance, Lily's family is nonetheless stubbornly silent to her questioning. But eventually, an old family friend provides a clue that sends Lily to Southeast Asia to find out the truth."
