Book Description
A dazzling novel about the tumultuous relationship between two sisters, a shocking loss that changes everything, and the life-altering adventure that follows. Morgan and Riley Brighton are joint heirs to Kaleidoscope: a glittering, ‘global bohemian’ shopping empire—created in sleepy Oregon and catapulted into haute New York—sourcing luxury goods from around the world. Morgan, statuesque beauty and Kaleidoscope’s talented designer, is adored by all, especially by the Brighton parents. Yet no one loves her more than Riley, whose shy and adventurous spirit is exalted by her sister. When a catastrophic event dismantles the Brightons’ world, Riley must stand in the spotlight for the first time in her life, with questions about her family that challenge her memory, identity, and loyalty. Restless and heartbroken, she sets off across the globe with the person she least expects, to seek truths about those she thought she knew best—herself included. Kaleidoscope is at once an examination of the precious bond between sisters as well as a vibrant story of exploration and surprising love. Moving and funny, warm and wise, Cecily Wong delivers a transporting, addictive page-turner that will tempt your appetite for food and travel and change the way you imagine your place in the world.

Book Description
My "Kaleidoscope" is , indeed, a patchy and complicated picture:some stories are tragic, some nostalgic,some funny ,others just offer food for thought. This is what life offers us every day, and this is what we should regard without fear or prejudice,each episode being a precious lesson , a reminder,gentle or harsh at times,of what we are and what we did (or did not do),be it the despair of a man, savouring his last love and torturing himself to extinction with doubt,suspicion and hopelessness ;or the boy's" love at first sight" gaffe ;or hypocrisy of self-righteous Christians;or the unusual for our deceitful times integrity and honesty of a Chinese young man, who prefers returning to his homophobic homeland to seeking political asylum in the USA at the cost of breaking his promise;or the struggle of a very young boy to preserve his unique and pure self in the nightmarish Communist atmosphere;or the trials of an American teacher in Taiwan... As is the case with my previous collection of short stories,"In the Battle",none of my "Kaleidoscope"is mere fiction.All stories are true and the names have just been slightly changed or omitted altogether.Also, as in my previous book,the narrator is not to be identified as a writer. Peer into the intricate pattern of my "Kaleidoscope", grow into it, compare it with your own experience, and you will understand that all over the world, be it Taiwan,Russia or the USA, people struggle for the same rights, look for the same happiness, encounter the same problems.Though, the problems are the same, the solutions can be very very different... Like my great literary predecessor in the realm of American belle lettres,Vladimir Nabokov,I believe that in creative writing ,HOW is much more important that WHAT,so, I tried to master my style, and you, my patient and, hopefully, benevolent,reader,are to be my literary judge. I will be thankful for any critique or comment that you choose to send me.
