A radiant, intimate novel of the longing that blooms between two boys over the course of one summer--about family, desire, and what we inherit.
When his grandfather dies, Jay travels south with his family to the property they've inherited, a once-flourishing farm that has fallen into disrepair. The trees are diseased, the fields parched from months of drought.
Jay's father, Jack, sends him out to work the land, or whatever land is left. Over the course of these hot, dense days, Jay finds himself drawn to Chuan, the son of the farm's manager, different from him in every way except for one.
Out in the fields, and on the streets into town, the charge between the boys intensifies. Inside the house, the other family members begin to confront their own secrets and regrets. Jack is a professor at a struggling local college whose failures might have begun when he married his student, Sui Ching. Sui Ching does her best to keep the family together, though she too wonders what her life could have been. And Fong, the manager, refuses to look at what is: at Chuan, at the land, at the global forces that threaten to render his whole life obsolete.
At once sweeping and compressed, Tash Aw's The South is a family novel of change and desire--a story of what happens when public and private lives collide, told with uncommon grace and beauty.
