Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang
5.0
dark emotional sad fast-paced

"We are all just trying to do the best we can."

Not a book for light reading or a feel good book. But this is a dang good book. Set during the Chinese Exclusion Act in the late 19th Century, the story had me constantly engaged, turning page after page for a reunification, a happy ending, or even just hope for its main character Daiyu, but left with her reality.
