mynightsbooked 's review for:

Four Treasures of the Sky by Jenny Tinghui Zhang

5.0

Wow. I’m speechless. This book left me in tears and it takes a lot for me to cry. I had never heard of the Chinese Exclusion Act until this book. It is eye opening and heartbreaking to realize that much of what occurred in the late 1880s towards Asian people is still happening in 2022. The authors note is worth the listen. She shares what inspired the story and her own thoughts about racism towards Asian people and Asian Americans.

Full review on my blog to come. Highly recommend the audio.
