The Lee family members' struggles w/ the consequences of their race and gender--and sometimes the intersection of both--are sympathetic and frustrating. Ng has a startlingly receptive and accurate way of illustrating the subtleties of feelings and the unsaid, and their effects on one's life and, subsequently, relationship w/ others.
Graphic: Racism and Sexism
Moderate: Death and Mental illness
Minor: Sexual content
