Everything Beautiful Is Far Away
Struggling to make sense of his life in America, prepubescent immigrant Samuel Chu grapples with the mysteries of learning a language, navigates the urban streets of Los Angeles on a pair of roller skates in the dubious company of ghostly strangers, and finds himself at odds with his young mother when it comes to her unrealistic expectations about who he should be. An affectionate chronicle of one boy's formative months in a new country, Everything Beautiful is Far Away is also an intimate portrait of the complicated relationship between a mother and her only child.

This true story of a concubine and the Gold Rush years “delves deep into the soul of the real old west” (Erik Larson). “Once the discovery of gold at Sutter’s Mill launched our ‘national madness,’ the population of California exploded. Tens of thousands of Chinese, lured by tales of a ‘golden mountain,’ took passage across the Pacific. Among this massive influx were many young concubines who were expected to serve in the brothels sprouting up near the goldfields. One of them adopted the name of Polly Bemis, after an Idaho saloonkeeper, Charlie Bemis, won her in a poker game and married her.
