美国，在淘金热的黄昏，两兄妹手里拿着枪，背着父亲的尸体，穿过一片风景。
父亲在夜里死了，妈妈失踪了。12岁和11岁的露西和萨姆突然孤身一人，开始逃亡。他们背着父亲的尸体，在遍布巨大的水牛骨头和老虎爪印的无情景观中漫游，寻找一个可以适当安葬父亲的地方。
《多少山头本是金》是一个全面的冒险故事，一个令人难忘的兄妹故事，也是一部关于被记忆束缚和分裂的家庭的非凡小说。
19世纪的美国西部是C-Pam Zhang令人印象深刻的处女作的背景。摇摇晃晃的马车、赌博窝点、尘土飞扬的城镇和躲躲闪闪的歹徒在书中出现......。这些山有多少是金子》打破了常规，[作为一个]关于西部建设的修正主义移民寓言......是一部大胆的、令人不安的史诗。

'The boldest debut of the year . . . It is refreshing to discover a new author of such grand scale, singular focus and blistering vision' Observer
America. In the twilight of the Gold Rush, two siblings cross a landscape with a gun in their hands and the body of their father on their backs . . .
Ba dies in the night, Ma is already gone. Lucy and Sam, twelve and eleven, are suddenly alone and on the run. With their father's body on their backs, they roam an unforgiving landscape dotted with giant buffalo bones and tiger paw prints, searching for a place to give him a proper burial.
How Much of These Hills is Gold is a sweeping adventure tale, an unforgettable sibling story and a remarkable novel about a family bound and divided by its memories.
'The 19th-century American West is the setting for C Pam Zhang's impressive debut. Rickety wagons, gambling dens, dusty towns and dodgy outlaws stalk its pages . . . How Much of These Hills is Gold breaks the mould [as a] revisionist immigrant fable of the making of the West . . . a daring and haunting epic' Sunday Times
