Sobre IBD

Northern Maple is a fictional tribute to immigrant life in America from the perspectives of Chinese students and scholars who have made America their home. Their struggles, assimilation, love, family and service to this beloved new land are reflected in soul-warming stories that capture readers’hearts.本书是美籍华裔作家牧童歌谣的新作，作者以细腻的笔触、犀利的视角和跌宕起伏的情节，书写了一幅中国大陆留学生在美国寻梦的画卷。二十世纪九十年代初，在美国中西部的一座高等学府，有一群来自中国大陆的优秀学子。那是一群“不是蛟龙不过江”，拉着两个皮箱，口袋里揣着五十美元闯美国的年轻人；那是一群从清贫和苦读中脱颖而出，进入美国高等学府的年轻人。 大学附近有一所叫“北月”的房子里住着五个中国男留学生。不远处的一所叫“枫园”的房子里住着四个中国女留学生。这九个年轻人经历了留学生涯的奋斗、异国他乡的爱情、异域教子的艰辛和喜乐、祖辈和后辈间中西文化的转换和传承、职场的甜酸苦辣以及家庭的变故和重生，在美国生根发芽、开花结果，人到中年绽放出了别样的风采、别样的绚丽。 他乡故乡，回首如梦。作品唤起了中年一辈人的青春记忆，也激励着年轻一代在海外寻梦的历程。
