“Exquisite and resonant...Jin has fashioned a ruminative, capacious, covertly ironic and quietly revealing tale of one family's pursuit of the American Dream.”—Los Angeles Times “Striking. . . . Jin's language has ripened into something extraordinary.”—The Washington Post Book World “[A Free Life] transforms the genre…. The narrative unfolds on such an intimate, domestic scale…that it takes a while to realize that this is also an epic.”—Robert Pinsky, Slate “A leisurely, generous tale….As vast and unbounded as the brave and overwhelming new world it describes.”—Boston Globe
