What in the hell?
I had to read this book for school, but I didn't think it would be this weird. I'll be honest with you, I literally have no idea what the plot was. There was just a bunch of memories all tangled up into one book. I don't think there was a purpose to this book.
However, I could slightly relate to the character. It was funny to see how Chinese habits would be described, and I could definitely understand what she was writing about.

Disconcerting and powerful memoir of her childhood as a Chinese immigrant in Northern California. Maxine captures the essence of her childhood experience by writing in a non linear, straightforward manner. She retells stories she heard from her parents, tells stories from multiple perspectives, and let's the reader be wrapped in her parents and ancestors beliefs.
Very compelling memoir.
