‘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

‘Nothing to My Name lives honestly in its history – foolhardy and loving and yet uncharted. A formidable and astonishing new voice’ T. Kira Madden

‘A gripping story of family bonds, redemption and triumph. A masterful debut!’ Marcela Fuentes

1948, Zhoushan, China. Twelve-year-old Ah Xue watches her mother earn a living combing the hair of the wealthy women in their small fishing village, as reports of civil war and the rising Communist revolution grow closer to home.

Years later, Mimosa grows up in the shadow of her parents’ struggles, while the looming tension of the Cultural Revolution threatens to pull her family apart.

And Fei, raised as a boy by the activist father she can’t help but idolise, grapples with her identity in the aftermath of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.

Spanning four decades and three generations, Nothing to My Name braids an unforgettable story of the ordinary women caught in the tides of societal upheaval, but bound by an insuppressible instinct to survive. From an astonishing new writer, it explores with remarkable tenderness the enduring repercussions of trauma, the search for stability in disorder, and the often contradictory nature of familial love. 20e siècle Fiction Fiction historique Petites villes et ruralité Politique

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
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
With deep empathy, and with luminous and memorable detail, Kovacs 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!
Survival is an instinct. But with grace and courage it can be transformed into triumph. Kangkang Li Kovacs shows us how as she conjures each moment, memory and observation with poignancy and tenderness
