The language was beautiful and layered. As I was reading it, it was hard to keep track of what was happening or where I was but I think that really added to the layering of the book. I felt disoriented but the layers folded back into one another so the story built up. I was emotional reading some parts because it made me think of my immigrant parents and our own story.
