The accolades speak for themselves:
"Fritz draws the readers into scenes from her youth in the
turbulent China of the mid-twenties. One comes to appreciate the
generous affection of her nursecompanion Lin Nai-Nai, the
isolating distance in her mother''s grief over losing a second
child, the dynamics of a suffering population venting its hostility
on foreigners, and most of all, the loneliness of a child''s exile
from a homeland she has imagined constantly but never seen....A
remarkable blend of truth and storytelling." --Booklist,
starred review
"An insightful memory''s-eye-view of her childhood...Young Jean is a
strong character, and many of her reactions to people and events
are timeless and universal."--School Library Journal,
starred review
"Told with an abundance of humor--sometimes wry, sometimes
mischievous and irreverent--the story is vibrant with atmosphere,
personalities, and a palpable sense of place." --The Horn
Book
"Every now and then a book comes along that makes me want to send a
valentine to its author. Homesick is such a book....Pungent and
delicious." --Katherine Paterson, The Washington Post
