Lurkers

By: Sandi Tan

Narrated by: Rebecca Lam

From author and filmmaker Sandi Tan, director of the acclaimed documentary Shirkers, comes a novel about a neighborhood of immigrants, seekers, lovers, and lurkers.

In a suburban LA neighborhood, neighbors keep wary distance and at times collide, propelled by desire, fury, and mischief. Precocious Korean-American sisters Mira and Rosemary find their world rocked by a suicide; a charismatic and creepy drama teacher grooms his students; an aging gay horror novelist fights loneliness; and a white mother and her adopted Vietnamese daughter deal with lifelong anger issues. Spanning decades, and bringing together a diverse and interlocking group of stories, Lurkers is a Los Angeles masterpiece, showing Sandi Tan's fiction to be as formidable and exciting as her filmmaking.

Sadly, not the best read.

I was really excited to read this book, but it was not what I hoped. the transitions between stories is hard to keep up with and hard to tell apart.

Never captured my interest...

unfortunately the characters never captured my interest. I will try again in a bit to see if i can finish.....
