The Nine Moons of Han Yu and Luli
Karina Yan Glaser
Two stories unfold across time in this historical novel. In Chang’an in 731, Han Yu sells steamed buns in a crowded market while people whisper that he can summon tigers. In Depression-era New York Chinatown, Luli lives above her parents’ restaurant and dreams about dim sum and Chinese art. Both young people leave familiar lives on perilous journeys to protect their families, facing plague and financial crisis. Their adventures connect danger, art, and a touch of magic.
