This is one of those books that I kept expecting to get better but it never did. It's not bad, but it just didn't grab me. The story revolves around the life of Su Lan, a brilliant Chinese physicist whose personal life goes off the rails after the birth of her daughter and the abandonment by the father. Su Lan emigrates to the U.S. but works randomly and moves around a lot. When she suddenly dies her daughter, Liya, takes her ashes back to China and meets the widow who helped care for her when she was an infant. She also discovers the name of her father and begins the search for him. There is nothing wrong with the story, or the writing but I was barely compelled to finish it. YMMV.
