'A layered, beautifully written, and deeply moving novel. Karissa Chen masterfully blends love, music, history, and heartbreak to create a sweeping tale that spans decades and continents'
Abi Daré

'[Homeseeking] weaves expertly between present and past, telling the story of childhood sweethearts who meet again late in life and are torn between looking back and moving on'
Celeste Ng

'As I tearfully turned the last page of Homeseeking, I knew that it had earned a place on my top shelf . . . unforgettable'
Washington Post

'Mesmerising . . . its portrayal of ruptured lives is heartrending'
Harper's Bazaar

Suchi first sees Haiwen in their Shanghai neighbourhood when she is seven years old, drawn by the sound of his violin. Their childhood friendship blossoms into love, but when Haiwen secretly enlists in the Nationalist army in 1947 to save his brother from the draft, Suchi is left with just his violin and a note: Forgive Me.


Sixty years later, recently widowed Haiwen spots Suchi at a grocery store in Los Angeles. It feels to Haiwen like a second chance, but Suchi has only survived by refusing to look back. In the twilight of their lives, can they reclaim their past and the love they lost?


Homeseeking follows the separated lovers through six decades of tumultuous Chinese history, telling Haiwen's story from the present to the past while tracing Suchi's from her childhood to the present, meeting at the crucible of their lives. From Shanghai to Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the United States, neither loses sight of the home they hold in their hearts.


'A love story in more ways than one, Homeseeking is a beautiful, nuanced look at Chinese history, family, young love, and the wisdom of age'

Unusual and engaging story about two friends who both left mainland China and fell out of touch, and about how they reunited. Sweet story and interesting premise but the way each character's timeline jumped either forward or back was a bit confusing.

Enjoyable story but confusing timelines

This story was full of heart break. about surviving, missing out on dreams and sacrificing life to protect family to get the best for them, putting others first before you & loosing out on your one true love, to growing old never being with them because life gets in the way.

amazing read
