But Ingrid has no idea that the note will lead to an explosive secret, upending her entire life and the lives of those around her. Her clumsy exploits to discover the truth set off a rollercoaster of mishaps and misadventures, from campus protests and over-the-counter drug hallucinations, to book burnings and a movement that stinks of Yellow Peril propaganda. In the aftermath, she’ll have to question everything, from her relationship with her fiancé to the kind of person she dares to be. \u003cb\u003e'The funniest novel I’ve read all year' \u003c\/b\u003e- Aravind Adiga, author of \u003ci\u003eThe White Tiger\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e'Fearless'\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003e'Elaine Hsieh Chou's pen is a scalpel'\u003c\/b\u003e - Raven Leilani, author of \u003ci\u003eLuster\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46528132087966,"sku":"TLD-9781529080674","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781529080674.jpg?v=1771477666","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781529080674","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
