A surprisingly layered and complex book, I was initially just expecting a run of the mill story of immigration with some fantastical elements. Instead the book takes a deeper dive into generational trauma, socialized norms, and communication gaps between first and second generation diaspora. Brings to life some of these much needed discussions.
