The kind of book anyone can relate to. At its heart, this book captures the feeling of being a person - with all our flaws (inherited or otherwise) and all our joys (likewise). Scratched my San Francisco itch in addition to such a vivid depiction of different areas of pre-1949 China. Not enough time spent developing the mothers' voices - all read a bit similar.

Honest. For every child of immigrants from the East, a true must read. Emotionally true.
