This is a phenomenal read about searching- for gold, for home, for purpose, for peace- and a unique kind of sisterhood. From the first page, I was fully immersed in the story and constantly on edge. The people and places in this story are so vividly depicted that they’ll stay with you long after reading. Writing like C Pam Zhang’s, that is so powerful it causes a physical response, is rare. Read it!
