All Our Ordinary Stories: A Multigenerational Family Odyssey

"As her aging mother’s health declines, an artist and mother of three works her way back in time to explore the story of her family’s struggles, escapes and migrations. Moving geographically between China and Canada, Teresa Wong’s graphic memoir meanders in spaces between: what she knows and what has been told to her; what she can see for herself and what she must imagine. An expertly paced work of comics told in black and white, using crisp, direct prose alongside unassuming but meaningful illustrations, All Our Ordinary Stories is a memoir of quiet longing and of what it means to live in the aftermath."
