Réception, bonjour!

Yang, Kelly


Traduction de: Front Desk. Mia devrait se réjouir: après quelques années de misère, ses parents, immigrants chinois, ont désormais un emploi et un toit où vivre depuis qu'ils sont devenus les gérants du motel Calavista, à Anaheim, en Californie. Par contre, la fille de douze ans, qui maîtrise encore difficilement l'anglais, se sent plus ou moins à l'aise de s'occuper de la réception pour permettre à son père et à sa mère de laver les chambres. Surtout, elle n'ose pas dire à son école qu'elle habite non pas dans une maison, mais dans le lieu de travail de sa famille. Si la situation n'est pas si catastrophique, les Tang acceptent que d'autres immigrants sans le toit logent dans les chambres lorsque celles-ci ne sont pas louées. Or, si cela venait aux oreilles de monsieur Yao, le propriétaire dénué de toute sympathie, ce sont Mia et ses parents qui risquent de se retrouver à la rue.

What follows is their flight along the eastern coast of America, and, finally, to a remote outpost in the Arctic, where Wash, left on his own, must invent another new life"--OCLC.
