<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>All Who Live on Islands</i> introduces a bold new voice in New Zealand literature. In these intimate and entertaining essays, Rose Lu takes us through personal history--a shopping trip with her Shanghai-born grandparents, her career in the Wellington tech industry, an epic hike through the Himalayas--to explore friendship, the weight of stories told and not told about diverse cultures, and the reverberations of our parents' and grandparents' choices. Frank and compassionate, Rose Lu's stories illuminate the cultural and linguistic questions that migrants face, as well as what it is to be a young person living in 21st-century Aotearoa New Zealand.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Rose Lu</b> is a Wellington-based writer. In 2018 she gained her Masters of Arts in Creative Writing at the International Institute of Modern Letters and was awarded the Modern Letters Creative Nonfiction Prize.
