In this lyrical, bittersweet debut memoir?already an award-winning bestseller when it was published in Australia?Alice grows up straddling two worlds, East and West, her insular family and the Australia outside. With wisdom beyond her years and a keen eye for comedy in everyday life, she writes of the trials of assimilation and cultural misunderstanding, and of the tender but fraught relationships between three generations of women trying to live the Australian dream without losing themselves. \"Unpolished Gem\" is a moving, vivid journey about identity and the ultimate search for acceptance and healing, delivered by a writer possessed of rare empathy, penetrating insight, and undeniable narrative gifts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Pung\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 186395158X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781863951586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Black Inc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.65d","brand":"Alice Pung","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43991163896063,"sku":"9781863951586","price":20.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b400df98-7fa6-424a-8d3b-8e46646a7ea2.jpg?v=1683308800","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/unpolished-gem-alice-pung-9781863951586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
