4.5
Grace Cho wrote about her mothers fraught history with incredible sensitivity, i think. Her overall tone in this memoir is intimate yet informative, her voice guides you through a deeply personal history and experience of life as an immigrant. Cho presents the historical information in a way that is approachable and easy to follow, even if you're not familiar with the material.
In all, this is a deeply touching love letter to maternal relationships and all women who have had to endure the unspeakable and came out the other side.
