""A powerful novel set in a Hong Kong that feels remarkably universal."" —Mohsin Hamid, author of Exit West “I loved Everyday Movement! A dazzling page-turning novel, tracing the varied domestic, interpersonal, romantic, ethical, financial, and political considerations at work on a cast of interconnected characters during the Hong Kong protests of 2019. Gripping, specific, important, and highly satisfying.” —Elif Batuman, author of The Idiot and Either/Or ""The question raised by Everyday Movement, in all its vigor and glorious complexity, is no smaller than: What is the right way to live? This is a novel which dares to confront the borders between everyday behavior and ethical self, personal contentment and public feeling, and ultimately compels us to face who we are and who we want to be."" –Megha Majumdar, author of A Burning “A vivid, kaleidoscopic portrait of the Hong Kong protests that brings the chaos of a political moment to a human level. At its heart a family story, Gigi Leung has written a book that offers no easy villains, instead relishing the interiority of its wide cast of sympathetic, conflicted characters. If textbooks can capture history, Everyday Movement proves that fiction can carry it forward through time.” –Kevin Nguyen, author of New Waves
