Publisher's summary

Elizabeth Johnson is the American Dream: an immigrant, a successful family law attorney, and a devout Christian, she has spent her career supporting her entrepreneur husband, and giving her daughter opportunities her younger self could only have dreamed of. But when a cryptic text message from an old acquaintance in Singapore threatens the life she has built, she is forced to travel across the world to at last confront the familial demons she has spent the last forty years running from.

Big Cat in Lion City is a story of repression and reconciliation as told through the eyes of Elizabeth, whose deeply buried past has finally caught up with her; her daughter Isabel, a chronic overachiever at a spiritual crossroads following her first sexual experience; and Huang Maelin, an impoverished misfit whose daily life is fraught with bullies, her degenerate father, and the tantalizing hope of a better life elsewhere.

Beautiful story

Thoroughly enjoyed this book. A stunning character piece about a mother and daughter, generational trauma, cultural context, and familial bonds. I loved that this book didn’t seem to follow the classic tropes I’ve come to know in similar-styled fiction. I was engaged the whole time and enjoyed some surprising plot developments along the way. I personally loved the audiobook performance—an Asian story being read by an Asian voice. We love to see representation! Highly recommend!

A fantastic story with great characters and unexpected turns

A fascinating story of family, secrets, betrayal and forgiveness. It’s well written and pulls you into not one, but two time periods. I thought I’d listen to a chapter a day but ended up finishing it in three days. I can’t wait to see what else the author writes.
