Disappearing Moon Cafe was a stunning debut novel that has become a Canadian literary classic. An unflinchingly honest portrait of a Chinese Canadian family that pulses with life and moral tensions, this family saga takes the reader from the wilderness in nineteenth-century British Columbia to late twentieth-century Hong Kong, to Vancouver's Chinatown. Intricate and lyrical, suspenseful and emotionally rich, it is a riveting story of four generations of women whose lives are haunted by the secrets and lies of their ancestors but also by the racial divides and discrimination that shaped the lives of the first generation of Chinese immigrants to Canada. Bespeak Audio Editions brings Canadian voices to the world with audiobook editions of some of the country's greatest works of literature, performed by Canadian actors.… (plus d'informations)

So many characters and narrators made this one difficult to track as an audiobook but the crazy story was still interesting ( )

This story had way too many characters and the constant jumping around in the time-line made it very confusing!
I made it through the audiobook, which means I didn't even have the advantage of looking at the family tree that is supposedly in the printed books.

VERY depressing! ( )

This book was not a favorite. The story bounced around different generations, and it was difficult to keep all the characters straight. Also, coarse language is used throughout, which doesn't usually bother me, but was difficult to hear in this context. I didn't find any of the characters likeable. ( )

This is a story set across the 20th century that portrays a Chinese Canadian family living in Vancouver. It unearths racism toward Chinese and gives a literary picture of life for the Chinese in Canada.
It is a story of four generations of women whose lives are haunted by the secrets and lies of their ancestors but also by the racial divides and discrimination that shaped the lives of the first generation of Chinese immigrants to Canada. ( )

An excellent, enticing subtly feminist novel with mystery and intrigue and complex character development. I really enjoyed it. ( )
