A beautiful look at the definitions of family and culture, the impacts of emigration, and the process of defining yourself as you enter adulthood.

4.5

While predictable in some ways, this novel in verse tells the story of an imperfect man full of love for the women in his life, regardless how complex his love makes his life. The story is beautiful, the characters are strong and formidable, and the ending is exactly how it should be.
