All the Way Around the Sun
A second emotionally heartfelt story concerning family, secrets and grief from XiXi Tian, author of This Place is Still Beautiful. Perfect for fans of Past Lives.
Stella Chen is annoyed.
Her parents have forced her to join the Zhao family on a college tour around the West Coast, and their overachieving son Alan, who she hasn't seen since she was six, is insufferable.

Tensions fly as Stella struggles with grief, long-kept family secrets are revealed, and at some point along the way she begins to see Alan as more than just the bratty kid from her childhood...

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
