The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts by Maxine Hong Kingston
5.0
Absolutely gorgeous. I read [b:The Woman Warrior|30852|The Woman Warrior|Maxine Hong Kingston|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1418654290s/30852.jpg|1759] for my Modern American Fiction class and I'm so glad it was on the syllabus.
This book is simultaneously an art object (each word is perfect) and also an incredible story (or set of stories, more accurately). The language is poetic and intricate, rich with imagery that somehow can be both lovely and deeply disturbing. Some scenes were physically painful to read because of how realistically she rendered them.
It's a great book. Read it :)
