A compelling and emotional read. The narrative is incredibly poetic and describes scenes and emotions immersively. The book jumps between key memories of the main character, which creates a dynamic read, but this is lost towards the end and sections can become long and winding.

Went into this blind and did not expect it to tackle so many subjects. The writing was devastatingly beautiful and brought such a light to immigrants and they’re children.

I feel slightly bad in not giving it a higher rating, but I tend to rate my experience rather than the quality of the book. This was written very beautifully but unfortunately it feels like the pretty language was slightly wasted on me. Still enjoyed this, just not necessarily my thing
