Orphaned in Canton and brought to England by a mysterious guardian, Babel seemed like paradise to Robin Swift.

But can a student stand against an empire?
An incendiary new novel from award-winning author R.F. Kuang about the power of language, the violence of colonialism, and the sacrifices of resistance.
