What happens when the story of your beginning is silenced—and you are left to find the pieces yourself? In 1960s Hong Kong, a ten-week-old baby girl is placed in an orphanage by her mother. Adopted by a British couple and raised in England, she is renamed, re-rooted and rejected, and expected to forget. But Laura Tan never forgot. Made in Hong Kong is the story of one woman’s search for family, belonging, and self. From silence and secrecy to the far reaches of reunion, from rejection and loss to unexpected love, Laura’s journey is by turns devastating, funny, courageous, and full of heart. This is a memoir of piecing together the past—and finding a way home. A memoir that will open your heart, make you laugh and cry, and stay with you long after the last page. If you were recommending to a friend or to your book club, you might say "It’s about a girl adopted from Hong Kong into a white British family in the 1960s, who grows up never feeling quite at home. As an adult she starts searching for her roots — facing rejection, grief, and shocking discoveries, but also moments of deep love and connection. It’s sad in places but also funny and tender. At its heart, it’s about what it means to belong — and how you can find home in unexpected places, even after loss." Readers who have enjoyed Deborah Levy’s The Cost of Living, Jeanette Winterson’s Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?, Lemn Sissay's My Name is Why and Raynor Winn’s The Salt Path will love Made in Hong Kong. It is a luminous memoir about adoption, identity, and the courage to reclaim your story.
