I think the audio format didn’t help me with this book. It was hard to tell who’s speaking. And I didn’t even realize for a while that we were switching between people’s stories. But the stories were interesting and the end was sweet. I think I would’ve rated it higher if I’d physically read the book.

One of the best books I’ve ever read. Can say it’s my fav for now.

Una historia de mujeres. De cuatro madres chinas que emigraron a Estados Unidos y sus cuatro hijas, ya nacidas en San Francisco.
Un libro contado a modo de relatos de cada una de estas mujeres, que nos habla de la dificultad que tienen para entenderse y comunicarse entre sí, tanto por la brecha generacional como por la diferencia de culturas en las que fueron criadas.
Un libro tremendamente interesante que nos muestra un trocito de cultura china, las penurias y dificultades que tuvieron que pasar sobre todo sus mujeres en determinada época, y como la falta de comunicación puede afectar a una relación tan sólida como podria ser esa entre una madre y una hija.
Muy interesante y recomendado.

woooof this is generational trauma in a book lmao wish there was more admonishment of the eye-for-an-eye events in this book

I liked the individual stories and being able to see the points of view across multiple generations however it was hard to keep track of who was who and except for the daughter who went to China and found her half sisters it didn’t really seem like there was closure for any of the other women.
