DESCRIPTION
Spend an unforgettable summer in Taipei in Taipei Story, a coming-of-age novel from R. F. Kuang about grief, language, cultural identity, and the complicated search for home.
College freshman Lily Chen travels to Taipei for an intensive language program, hoping to strengthen her Chinese and connect with a culture she inherited but has never fully understood. Instead, difficult classes, tension with her roommate, and gossip among her classmates leave Lily feeling more like an outsider than ever.
When Lily learns that her grandfather has died, her summer takes on new urgency. Faced with questions about her family history that may now go unanswered, she begins piecing together memories, stories, and silences while reconsidering what it means to belong to a place, a language, and a family.

"Love the rotating seasonal items and the consistent supply of specialty office supplies!! Jerrol's makes it fun to pick up page protectors-- if I happen to also purchase a chicken-shaped mug or gorgeous wildflower apron while I'm there as well, that's just a happy accident lol :)"
"In one quick visit, I was able to get help finding art supplies for a new project as well as order some new release books for my daughters for Christmas. It’s great to have a small business in town that can do all that!"
"What a fun quirky place. Art supplies, RC cars, and puzzles, yep! Need a coffee while browsing the vintage clothing, sure! Office furniture, yep! Need some university gear, they have that too! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area."
“I came in for something specific and left with exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.”
