Shirin Yim Leos
Three women--one born married, one born enslaved, one born free—brought together by one man.
Betrothed at birth, Yook Lan enters the Chun House as a teenager to become the household's Great Wife--only to be left behind by a husband who must journey across the world to ensure the survival of his family.
Forced to sleep on the floor of a storeroom, gambled away, and ransomed into the Chun household, Guai Fong finds herself cared for but isolated, as neither servant nor daughter.
Mary has only ever known the silver waters and green trees of Puget Sound. But her life is forever changed when she falls in love with a stranger who has come to America to make his fortune, but who must return to China to secure his legacy.
The abandoned first wife, the ransomed slave, and the displaced young woman become inextricably linked, their happiness and purpose connected to one man, one household. Through decades, across oceans, and painting a vivid portrait of three women as they struggle against history’s constraints, Of Wind and Dust is an unforgettable, intricately crafted story of striving, sacrifice, love, and loyalty inspired by the author’s own family history.

批評家のレビュー
“Each of Leos’s characters is so real, so persuasively embedded in time and place—and all their stories are equally compelling. A wonderful piece of work . . . Brava!”—Karen Joy Fowler, New York Times bestselling author of Booth
“Lush, knowing, and quietly devastating . . . Shirin Yim Leos has crafted an unforgettable portrait of a family shaped by ambition, war, and longing, illuminating a largely untold history.”—Michael David Lukas, author of The Invisible Line
“Of Wind and Dust is a glorious, compassionate epic set in two countries: one ancient, the other which calls itself new. Encompassing almost seventy years and three striking women’s voices, it is a story of the power of culture, love, and duty, and the ways they can catalyze or entrap us. . . . A masterpiece.”—Erica Bauermeister, New York Times bestselling author of The Scent Keeper
“These days, what a respite to fall into the world of women doing what women do: showing courage, resilience, and the fierce will to push on. From rural China to harbor-town Seattle, three wives of one man emerge from the sweep of history, the trap of family legacy, and the complexities of love to stand, confront and finally own their tomorrows. An engrossing story by a storyteller of extraordinary insight . . . I didn’t want it to end.”—Stephanie Gangi, author of Carry the Dog
