2023., HarperCollins Call No: Fic Pin Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: The hilarious and heartbreaking story of two William Pings in Newfoundland — the lost millennial and the grandfather he knows nothing about William Ping’s millennial life revolves around eating at restaurants, posting online about eating at restaurants, then overanalyzing it. This changes unexpectedly when a dinner with his Chinese girlfriend’s family goes sideways and his insecurity about his biracial identity and his ignorance of his own Chinese heritage overflow like lava. During a much-needed break from the dinner table, Will is visited in the men’s room by a sarcastic, bullying spirit named Mo. The spirit whisks him into the past to learn about the life of his grandfather, the first William Ping, who emigrated from China to Newfoundland in 1931 to work in a laundry. Based on a true story, Hollow Bamboo recounts with humour and sympathy the often-brutal struggles, and occasional successes, faced by some of the first Chinese immigrants in Newfoundland. It is a journey of heartbreak, sacrifice, brotherhood and family ties. But most of all, it is about love and survival on the Rock. Drawing on elements of magical realism, autofiction and satire, as well as deep historical research, Hollow Bamboo is a fresh and original portrayal of our past and our present, and the debut of an extraordinary new author.

By Petrus, Ivan2017., Adult, Lannoo Publishers Call No: GN Fic Pet Edition: ed. Availability:1 of 1 At Your Library Summary Note: Vicky Braedy is the last descendant of a WW1 tank crew member: E.H. Braedy, who died exactly one hundred years ago in Passchendaele, near a legendary tank called 'Fray Bentos'. His body and the tank were never found. Vicky has inherited all his writings and memorabilia, and decides to travel to Flanders Fields with her husband, to look for clues and traces concerning her great-great grandfather. In fact, she is stepping into the footsteps of Braedy's wife, her great-great grandmother Victoria, in what will turn out to be a journey full of confrontations. When she finds out that Braedy's name tag was found in Cambrai, Vicky drives from Passchendaele to Cambrai, very much like the tanks in 1917. Same tanks, different battlefield. Vicky Braedy is an only child, looking into family secrets. She is the last Braedy. Or is she? And who is Deborah?.
