Transoceanic Lights digs deep into the emotions of love, anger, loss, betrayal, and compassion as the families discover their place in a new country. Ma and Ba offer such psychological tension. This novel is a page-turner, a must read!

--Gloria Mindock, editor of Červená Barva Press

The portrayal of childhood is brilliant. The characters are as vivid as if they were our own relatives. The writing is nuanced, intelligent, lyrical, sensuous. S. Li has much to teach us about other cultures and the art of the novel. A very fine novel indeed.

--Luke Salisbury, author of Hollywood and Sunset
