Join a thoughtful conversation about "Real Americans" by Rachel Khong. Share your insights, hear different perspectives, and connect with fellow readers.

The novel explores American identity, class, race, and family across three generations, following a Chinese-American family from the late 1990s to the 2020s. The story begins with Lily Chen meeting Matthew, the heir to a pharmaceutical fortune, and unfolds through a major family secret involving genetic editing that impacts their son, Nick, who later seeks to uncover his origins. It's a multi-generational saga that questions destiny, inheritance, and what it means to be American.
