her writing is so pretty, she has an amazing way of saying things. this book reminded me of my older brothers and sisters that helped me feel comfortable and safe in my own skin. it reminds me of how they found their own peace in their identity, hard to read but nice.

The kind of book I love-a quiet, generational family, immigration story. One feels like you have lived through all the changes, joys and sorrows over the years. This would be a good choice for a book club too. Another of those books that had sat on my library's shelf for years ( literally since 2004) that I always said that I would read.....now I will read the author's others!
