Nothing to My Name chronicles the intertwined fates of three generations of Chinese women: Ah Xue, Mimosa, and Fei. The Grandmother, Ah Xue, witnesses the rise of the Communist Revolution while earning a meager living combing the hair of the few wealthy ladies in her small fishing village. Mimosa, the Mother, grows up in the shadow of her parents’ struggles as the growing tension of the Cultural Revolution threatens to pull their family apart. And Fei Fei, the Daughter, brought up as a “boy” by her activist father, grapples with gender identity in the aftermath of the Tiananmen Square massacre.
Awash in the tides of societal upheaval, Ah Xue, Mimosa, and Fei Fei are all driven by the instinct to survive, weathering hardship that splinters the boundary between the personal and the political. For readers of sweeping upmarket book club fiction like Pachinko and Homegoing, Nothing to My Name is a braided history of suffering and dignity, of loss and reckoning, and of the unexpected joy that sustains family bonds.

Reseñas de la crítica
“It feels intimate while also covering such enormous historical shifts, and I thought the emotional threads between the women were especially powerful.”
—BiblioLifestyle
“Lyrical, haunting, and profoundly moving, Nothing to My Name is a story of survival, identity, and the fragile hope that passes from mother to daughter.”
—Jean Kwok, New York Times bestselling author of Searching for Sylvie Lee
“Kangkang Li Kovacs deftly shows us how a culture grows and shape shifts, remains in stasis, and eats its tail. Still, the ink of activism seems only to gather legibly in the wake of change, reminding readers that resistance can appear unremarkable before it kindles revolution. Nothing to My Name lives honestly in its history—foolhardy and loving and yet uncharted. A formidable and astonishing new voice.”
—T Kira Madden, national bestselling author of Whidbey
“With deep empathy, and with luminous and memorable detail, Kovac reveals the fragility and resilience of three generations of women grappling with social and cultural upheaval, and the precarity of their lives. Nothing to My Name is at once intimate and epic, sweeping readers along a gripping story of family bonds, redemption, and triumph. A masterful debut!”
—Marcela Fuentes, award-winning author of Malas
“An unflinching portrait of resilience, softened by the special bond between mothers and daughters.”
