How Much of These Hills Is Gold by C Pam Zhang

4.0

A solid debut that really captured the dry loveliness of the western landscape in a time when the land didn't love you back. Lucy and Sam scramble to survive after their Ba dies. About halfway through we see a couple years prior when they're younger and Ma is still around, and then from beyond the grave Ba tells his tale as a youth carrying his own secrets.

Not a cheerful ending, but contemplative.
