Feeding Ghosts by Tessa Hulls

graphic memoir · family history · Pulitzer Prize winner | 300-400 pages

A graphic memoir about three generations of Chinese women—Tessa, her mother, and her journalist grandmother, Sun Yi—unearthing inherited trauma, secrets, and identity against the backdrop of tumultuous modern Chinese history (Communist Revolution, Sino-Japanese War). After fleeing persecution in China, Sun Yi's subsequent mental breakdown and silence left a void, prompting a young Tessa to run away, but she eventually returns at age 30 to research her family's past, transforming their fractured history into a vivid, healing narrative about love, loss, and connection.
