Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Longlisted for the Center for Fiction's 2022 First Novel Prize! "Belinda Huijuan Tang's debut novel is a beautifully drawn, sensitively rendered portrait of a man desperately searching for his father--and for reconnection to the past and people he once knew and loved. Both rich in historical detail and timeless in scope, A Map for the Missing explores the costs of choosing your own path, whether what's left behind can ever be retrieved, and whether it is possible to forgive the wounds we inevitably inflict on each other." --Celeste Ng, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Little Fires Everywhere "An engrossing saga of a young mathematician caught between two countries, two cultures, two eras, and two loves.

When Yitian returns home and attempts to piece together what may have happened, he struggles to navigate the country's impenetrable bureaucracy as an outsider. So he seeks out a childhood friend: Tian Hanwen, who as a teenager was "sent down" from Shanghai to Yitian's village as part of China's rustication campaign. Young and in love, they dreamed of attending university together. But after a terrible tragedy, their paths diverged, and while Yitian ended up a professor in America, Hanwen was left behind. Reuniting for the first time as adults, Yitian and Hanwen embark on a search for Yitian's father, all the while grappling with the past and what might have been. Spanning the late 1970s to 1990s and moving effortlessly between rural provinces and big cities, A Map for the Missing is a deeply felt examination of family and forgiveness, and the meaning of home. …
