    Summary note
    In Accomplice to Memory, Q. M. Zhang tries to piece together the fractured mystery of her father's exodus from China to the U. S. during the two decades of civil and world war leading up to the 1949 revolution. Part memoir, part novel, and part historical documentary, this hybrid text explores the silences and subterfuge of an immigrant parent, and the struggles of the second generation to understand the first. Zhang blurs the boundary between fiction and nonfiction, memory and imagination to tell the story of one woman working to understand and reimagine her family and her father. From back cover.
