A Beast Slinks Towards Beijing by Alice Evelyn Yang is a profoundly moving story about a family and all its ghosts - ghosts that have moved with them across oceans and down throughout the decades, echoing through each generation. Qianze's estranged father has suddenly come back into her life, intent on delivering a prophecy that he can scarcely remember. With him, he brings the stories of his childhood, and stories of Qianze's grandmother, and his bloody history as a Red Guard. And his reappearance isn't the only strange thing happened to Qianze - strange beasts stalk her dreams and lurk in the streets.
