|author= Peter Ho Davies
|title= The Fortunes
|rating= 4.5
|genre= General Fiction
|summary= Clashes of cultures or cultural enrichment? Xenophobia or embracing diversity?
Today's hot topics focus much on cultures meeting and notions of foreignness, especially in the context of migration. As such, Peter Ho Davies could not have chosen a more current and thought-provoking theme for ''The Fortunes'': through four different stories, the novel documents some of the history of Chinese people in America over more than century. From railroad workers, laundry owners, and prostitutes to film stars and adoptive parents, ''The Fortunes'' tells tales of searching for identity on both national and personal levels.
