Yellowface by R.F. Kuang
Yellowface by R.F. Kuang is a fairly recent release, it came out a little over a year ago, and I recently picked up a signed copy at a used book sale. I had heard some great things, but I didn't realize that this is the author of Poppy Wars, and Babel, two books that are very different in subject to this book.
