Last Night I Dreamed of Home: A Novel

This romantic debut graphic novel follows two college freshmen grappling with coursework, new friends, first love and their Chinese heritage After botching the only exam that matters in China, Alice arrives at college eager to party like the North Americans on TV–not to hang out with a studious boy who reminds her why she left home. All Haoran wants is a business degree. His father has spent all his money sending Haoran overseas, and in return, he must graduate and find a stable job. If only he could get rid of the nagging itch to draw a comic book. From burnt cooking, a stuck elevator and late-night bubble tea, Alice and Haoran’s unlikely friendship promises into something more–unless their differences drive them apart. When a creative opportunity arrives, Haoran must choose between his passion and his family, and Alice must discover her own identity or lose touch with her roots altogether. Last Night I Dreamed of Home is a richly nuanced and sweetly satisfying rom-com from a brilliant new graphic novel creator.
