Yesterday, Seattle-based author Tessa Hulls won a Pulitzer Prize for her graphic novel “Feeding Ghosts.”
Hulls’ first published book starts with her Chinese grandmother, Sun Yi, a journalist and author who fled Shanghai after the Communist Revolution.
Then, the narrative shifts — to her mother Rose, the daughter of a Swiss diplomat, essentially raised in a Hong Kong boarding school after her mother was institutionalized.
And finally to Hulls herself, who is trying to bring peace to her family ghosts.
