Homesick is technically a fiction book. It is an autobiography of a author, who filled in blank spots in her memory with fiction. She grew up in China, but was of American blood and American upbringing, until she was 12. At that point the Communists tried to take over China and foreigners were ordered to leave.
The main character is very spoiled and the book does not acknowledge that. She is overly American and seems to want to change “foreign” to “almighty american”. She even hates China and Britain because they aren’t american.
