The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir by Kao Kalia Yang

emotional hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.0

coming from someone who has read exactly one memoir in their life, this is the best memoir i’ve read. 

i read this memoir for class and i have to say that i am very glad that i did. i feel like it’s objectively so weird to rate a memoir because it feels vaguely like i am putting a rating on this person’s life, so i am basing my rating on the writing alone. with that being said, the writing was absolutely beautiful; the way that yang manages to capture emotions in her writing is so masterfully done like omg girl you are a Genius.
