Speak, Okinawa: A Memoir by Elizabeth Miki Brina

4.0

It took me a while to get into this book - the writing was a bit choppy and lacked some heart (to me) in the beginning, but it gets better. I had a hard time connecting with the author overall as she and I had very different relationships with our parents, and I do think she gets a bit preachy at times, but I still think her perspective and her voice are important. I just wanted her to give Okinawa more of its own voice, too, to get to 5 stars.
