Confusing at times, especially in the beginning, but once I got to know the characters, I couldn’t stop reading.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book but I can't say that I will remember this book. I haven't thought about it since I read it. I still consider it a worthwhile way to spend your time. I guess I just wish I had gotten to know the characters a bit better.
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Non-linear character driven family saga that manages to keep your attention throughout.
When a book review says the book I am about to read will be similar to Homegoing – I AM ALL IN. While I would have rather read this in hard copy to be able to flip back to the list of character easier I couldn’t stop reading! Told over the span of 50+ years this beautiful book tells the story of multiple characters. I loved the short, engaging chapters to learn about each character and how their lives intertwine. The writing flows, there are happy and sad times, but these people keep prevailing. My words wont do this book justice – you will have to read it.

What a ride. I haven't rooted for characters, mourned, gasped, or come to love characters this much in ages.
The chronology is quite hard to follow but when I started reading it as a collection of short stories that occasionally intertwined, it became a great read. Wow.
