After stealing the draft for Athena Liu鈥檚 novel and passing it off as her own work, June Hayward is enjoying the success she鈥檚 always craved. But it comes with complications鈥�
Yellowface, the bestselling novel by Rebecca F Kuang, is a darkly funny mystery with a deeply flawed narrator. June Hayward is a young white American writer whose promising debut novel is quietly sliding into insignificance. She鈥檚 intensely jealous of her friend from Yale Athena Liu, who by contrast has been wildly successful. This novel explores racism and cultural appropriation within a fast paced, sharply satirical thriller.
