•Larissa Lai, author of THE LOST CENTURY
Evocative and heartwarming, TRUST THE BLUER SKIES is a literary time capsule—a father’s vivid account of his son’s early years, a sensory-rich journey through rural Portugal, and a poignant exploration of masculinities that is positive, compassionate, and nurturing. The story tells of da costa’s family spending an extended stay in Portugal. Distilling the wide-eyed innocence, joy, and curiosity of his four-year-old son as he meets his aging grandparents and explores an unfamiliar country and culture, da costa crafts a beautiful, tender, and poetic portrait of father-son relationships.
With great heart, THE LOST CENTURY explores the intersections of Asian relations, queer Asian history, underground resistance, the violence of war, and the rise of modern China - a sprawling novel of betrayal, epic violence, and intimate passions.
