Excerpts

Sneak Peek: Confucius Jane by Katie Lynch

torforge

Confucius Jane by Katie LynchConfucius Jane, by debut author Katie Lynch, is a lush and charming novel that vividly depicts New York City’s Chinatown while taking the reader on a touching journey of family, community, and love.

On leave from college, Jane Morrow has a new job, helping out in her uncle’s fortune cookie factory, and a new roommate—her precocious 11-year-old cousin. Though surrounded by her loving family and their close-knit Chinatown community, Jane feels like a colossal failure. Writing fortunes is a kind of poetry, but Jane is penning words of wisdom for strangers while wondering if she will ever have the guts to move on with her life—but then she meets Sutton St. James. Please enjoy this excerpt.

CHAPTER ONE

JANE WOKE TO THE clickity-clack of her cousin Minetta’s fingertips skittering across her laptop keyboard. The noise sounded like a herd of mouse-sized elephants. If there was a Hell and she ended up there, being forced to listen to this for eternity would definitely be her punishment. Gritting her teeth, she tried to burrow deeper beneath the covers and ignore the persistent sound, but to no avail. There couldn’t be all that many eleven-year-old touch typists in the world. How had she ended up with one of them for a roommate?

Opening one eye, she glanced at the clock on the nightstand between their beds. Six forty-five. Jane groaned and threw one arm over her face.

“Oh, stop,” Min said without a break in her typing. “You should be awake already.”

“Have I mentioned that I can’t wait until you hit puberty and start wanting to sleep all the time?”

“Be quiet. You’re stifling my creative flow.”
