Synopsis

A multi-award-winning debut poetry collection exploring migration and women’s experience through the generations.

WINNER OF THE VICTORIAN PRIZE FOR LITERATURE 2024

Ping left Hong Kong for a prosperous life in New Zealand – or so she had been led to believe. Instead she works long hours frying fish in a rat-infested shop, and at home contends with a dissolute husband and four children who struggle with their mother’s unhappiness.

Polyphonic and richly textured, Chinese Fish is an intergenerational saga spanning the 1960s to the 1980s. It is an intimate insight into family dynamics, oral and written legacies, migratory history, and the lives of mothers and daughters.

‘This is poetry at its urgent and thrilling best’ The Ockham New Zealand Book Awards, won by Chinese Fish

‘An utterly mesmerising, richly textured and polyphonic collection… a complex and deeply intelligent examination of who and what we choose to record, and what slips between the lines’ Eileen Chong
