She’s also queer and Asian, a Vietnamese adoptee treated as an exotic attraction by her peers, while the most important doors remain closed to her.\n\nBut the world is full of wonders: infernal pacts and dazzling illusions, lost ghosts and elemental mysteries. In all paper is fire, and Jordan can burn the cut paper heart out of a man. She just has to learn how.\n\nNghi Vo’s debut novel The Chosen and the Beautiful reinvents this classic of the American canon as a coming-of-age story full of magic, mystery, and glittering excess, and introduces a major new literary voice.","author_name":"Nghi Vo","author_url":"https://hardcover.app/authors/nghi-vo","thumbnail_url":"https://assets.hardcover.app/external_data/49418309/8aa9a247fe9732091ce7ec3f3d3f08314109787d.jpeg","thumbnail_width":316,"thumbnail_height":500}
