Red Pockets : An Offering by Alice MahA haunting family memoir about what we owe our ancestors and our descendants, from an unforgettable new voice'Part of me knew what the hungry ghosts wanted all along, what they still want. It is not vengeance. No, they want something else, but we refuse to listen. They want us to face up to our broken obligations.'

A haunting family memoir about what we owe our ancestors and our descendants, from an unforgettable new voice'Part of me knew what the hungry ghosts wanted all along, what they still want. It is not vengeance. No, they want something else, but we refuse to listen. They want us to face up to our broken obligations.' Every spring during the Qingming Festival, people return to their home villages in China to sweep the tombs of their ancestors, making offerings of food and incense to prevent them from becoming hungry ghosts that could cause misfortune. Yet for the past century, a time ruptured by war and revolution, many tombs have been left unattended. Following a record year of wildfires, Alice Mah returns to her family’s rice village in South China, and discovers that her ancestors are almost forgotten, and there are no tombs left to sweep. Instead, there are incalculable clan debts to be paid.

Here Mah chronicles her journey from the rice villages of South China to her home in post-industrial England, through the Chinatowns of Western Canada where she grew up, to the isles and industry of Scotland where she now lives. As years pass and fires rage on, she becomes increasingly troubled by her ancestors’ neglected graves. Her research on pollution gives way to growing eco-anxiety, culminating in a crisis of spiritual belief.

A haunting blend of memoir, cultural history and environmental exploration, Red Pockets confronts the hungry ghosts of our neglected ancestors, while searching for an acceptable offering. What do we owe to past and future generations? What do we owe to the places that we inhabit?

Great pen and great price!
Color: White
I’ve been using this pen ever since I purchased my new iPad. Let me tell you that it works great. I use my iPad mainly for writing notes at work and I use it every single day. The pen has help up well. It comes with 4 replacement tips, but so far I haven’t had to replace the tip even though I use it extensively to write. Battery life is pretty good and it charges fast. To me, there is absolutely no reason to spend money on ahig end pen when this one doe essentially the same thing!

Great dub
Color: White
Love the pencil and price. I use it to design tattoos on procreate. It works great. No issues connecting. Like an apple pencil without the price. Good dub. One downside, the paint is chipping off the pencil. Not a big deal.

Works very well with the iPad for the price
Color: Blue
The pencil works well. I like that I could choose a color. It has pretty much the same dimensions as an Apple Pencil Pro but not quite as much heft. It still feels fine and works just fine. Writing is smooth and it works in Procreate; however, I miss the pressure sensitivity being able to tap for some functions that you’d get with the Pencil Pro. I appreciate the charge indicator and it is easy to charge although the protective cover over the USB-C charging port is a bit of a hassle since it is small and could easily be lost. I like the power button on the top of the pencil as it feels natural to click it on and off sort of like a ballpoint pen. I also appreciate that it will stick to the side of the iPad magnetically like an Apple Pencil even it doesn’t charge that way. For the most part it just connects and works; however, I have had a couple instances (maybe after charging now that I think of it) where it will take a few tries sometimes switching Bluetooth on and off before it connects again, but then it continues to work between power cycles of the pencil and sleep cycles of the iPad. Works much better than a standard stylus, but is not compatible with an iPhone.
