I absolutely adored this. This was such a little nugget of gold looking at the life of a Taiwanese family living in Alaska, with the aftermath of losing one of the members to illness.
All the characters were fairly complex, and sometimes it was difficult to connect completely with them, but they were also so unique that I couldn’t help loving them.
I found it fascinating noticing the customs that the family had brought over, coupled with them trying to live with not a lot of money coming in, mixed with moments of beauty as they children would escape to the woods next to their house. The description of nature is really captivating.
