Last Night I Dreamed of Home: A Novel

After botching the only exam that matters in China, Alice arrives at college eager to party like the North Americans on TV-not to hang out with a studious boy who reminds her why she left home. All Haoran wants is a business degree. His father has spent all his money sending Haoran overseas, and in return, he must graduate and find a stable job. If only he could get rid of the nagging itch to draw a comic book.From burnt cooking, a stuck elevator and late-night bubble tea, Alice and Haoran's unlikely friendship promises into something more-unless their differences drive them apart. When a creative opportunity arrives, Haoran must choose between his passion and his family, and Alice must discover her own identity or lose touch with her roots altogether. Last Night I Dreamed of Home is a richly nuanced and sweetly satisfying rom-com from a brilliant new graphic novel creator.
