Excellent story about migration, family, womanhood, language, work, language, etc. Loved the protagonist, made me think about my own family history, made me hate the unfairness, violence and disregard women face in family and marriage. A bit too pessimistic about women-to-women collaboration but I got it as a point about how pettiness thrives in poverty and abusive environments. The ending was heartbreaking.
