About Unpolished Gem (Unabridged)
Unpolished Gem is an audiobook rich in comedy with a loving and irreverent portrait of a family, its everyday struggles and bittersweet triumphs.
'This story does not begin on a boat.'
So commences Alice Pung’s memoir. This is an original take on a classic story – how a child of immigrants moves between two cultures. In place of piety and predictability, however, Unpolished Gem offers a vivid and ironic sense of both worlds. It combines the story of Pung’s life growing up in suburban Footscray with the inherited stories of the women in her family – stories of madness, survival and heartbreak.
Original and brave, this is a girl’s own story that introduces an unforgettable voice and captures the experience of Asian immigrants to Australia.
