First and foremost, props to the prose. I really enjoy Chang's poignant writing.
Eleanor Liu is doing just fine. Born in a immigrant family, survived and doing just fine. She's married to the man she loved - she thinks. Her mother resented her, because marriage ended a woman's life. Eleanor thought, just because her mother's marriage was an unhappy one, so hers will be one as well?

Eleanor Liu is doing just fine but she’s hiding things from her husband., she's conducting unauthorized research on illegitimately procured mice and now, her mother is dead.

The story switches and jumps rather abruptly back and forth between timeline ; the present, Eleanor's childhood and her parents' migration.

Family secret, relationship turmoil, self-finding; the elements in A Quitter's Paradise.
'There’s hope for quitters, too. There’s a paradise on the other side of giving up.’

Thankyou NetGalley for the ARC <3
