pucksandpaperbacks's review
4.0
Really enjoyed this. A beautifully written story about a biracial Asian American woman learning about her mother's heritage - Okinawan. As a teenager, she expresses disdain for her mother and untangles her internalized racism. In her thirties, Brina realizes she can relate to her mother and feels guilty.
I really enjoyed the last section of the book where Elizabeth and her parents go to Okinawa to visit her
mother's family.
