But her parents as children and young people are so well conveyed that you feel it could be you. The lack of safety, the repeated chock of having all plans overturned, sneaks in on you in your armchair. It invites the reader (and, as Thi Bui says, her own self too) to renewed respect for the survivors, even those that spend their days in a dark room, grumpy and unapproachable for apparently no reason.
Moderate: Violence, Domestic abuse, Death, War, Miscarriage, and Abandonment
Minor: Mental illness, Mass/school shootings, Drug use, Vomit, Xenophobia, and Racial slurs
Starvation, persecution, and hiding alone in the darkness in small spaces are also part of the story. Read it, but hold someone's hand.ittywitty's review against another edition
