The Trilogy

THE FORTITUDE CHRONICLES trilogy employs a sophisticated narrative structure that creates a compelling circular journey, beginning and ending with Wang Xiu's medical crisis while exploring two generations of resilience and adaptation across two continents.

 

This three-part structure allows for exploration of universal themes—resilience, identity, cultural transition, family legacy, and personal transformation—across different historical contexts and from multiple perspectives.

 

While each book can be read as a stand-alone narrative, together they form a powerful multi-generational saga spanning two continents, and seventy-five years of personal and historical transformation.
