Reviews for Where Every Ghost Has a Name: A Memoir of Taiwanese Independence

From its astonishing opening lines, Where Every Ghost Has a Name grabbed me by the collar and never let me go. Both a poignant memoir and a riveting mystery, this is a deeply moving, meticulously researched debut --Kirstin Chen, New York Times bestselling author of Counterfeit In this astonishing story, Kim Liao skillfully unravels a family mystery through a blend of meticulous historical inquiry and vividly imagined reconstructions of the past. This work is not just an important contribution to Taiwanese history, but also a profound account of the wide-reaching personal sacrifices that resistance against authoritarianism entails. --Shawna Yang Ryan, author of Green Island
