#chinese-diaspora

Pei Lulu is the pride of her divorced parents. Her life in Boston is supported by her mother's salary from a job at Tsinghua University and her father's business of sculpting Buddhas and dragons for overseas clients. That Lulu has managed to study abroad-at Harvard, no less-is already an achievement. But she's also particularly dedicated, even among her extraordinary peers. When her wealthy friend Rachel vacations in Newport or goes skiing in Vermont, Lulu is content to stay on campus, reading books in the library.
