American Woman Paperback - 2004
by Susan Choi
On the lam for an act of terror against the American government, 25-year-old Jenny Shimada agrees to care for three younger fugitives whom a shadowy figure from her former radical life has spirited out of California. "American Woman" was selected by NPR and the "Los Angeles Times" as one of ten "Best Books of Fiction" of 2003.
First line
Red Hook is little more than the junction of a couple of roads, with a farm store, a church and graveyard, a diner.
From the rear cover
On the lam for an act of violence against the American government, 25-year-old Jenny Shimada agrees to care for three younger fugitives whom a shadowy figure from her former radical life has spirited out of California. One of them, the kidnapped granddaughter of a wealthy newspaper magnate in San Francisco, has become a national celebrity for embracing her captors' ideology and joining their revolutionary cell.
A thought-provoking meditation on themes of race, identity, and class, American Woman explores the psychology of the young radicals, the intensity of their isolated existence, and the paranoia and fear that undermine their ideals.
