Se me ha hecho un poco largo, pero por lo demás me parece maravilloso. El hecho de que cuente diferentes historias de mujeres de familias diferentes, con el núcleo común de ser mujeres chinas inmigrantes en los EEUU me parece genial. Pese a que a veces, al mezclar los personajes y las cronologías, se hace un poco difícil de seguir quién-está-emparentado-con-quién-y-cómo, es un rescurso interesante y que hace que las historias sean más ricas todavía.
Tengo 0 ganas de analizar movidas y alargar la reseña pero leedlo porfa, que es muy bonito.

What I thought it was going to be: a cohesive, traditional novel with a plot that revolves around daughters of Chinese-Americans.
What it was!!!!!: separate but related stories of BOTH!!! mothers and daughters.
I liked reading about a culture that was so different from my white, American background from white, American parents. I loved the stories, the flashbacks of a childhood in China, the friendship that binds the four mothers together, the daughters' connection/disconnection with their culture. Was kind of grim in that none (except one I think) of the daughter's seemed quite happy in their current or past relationships with men. But I think I get that that wasn't the point of the novel. There were places where I was a little bored, but the novel as a whole was something that I could see myself reading again and again. I think Waverly was my favorite character. A lot of parts reminded me of the Woman Warrior but I can't tell if that was because I've read so few books by Chinese authors and I'm just generalizing the tone of both or because the complicated mother-daughter relationship was portrayed similarly.
