A review by bethvf
Bitter in the Mouth by Monique Truong

5.0

I loved this book and hated to see it end. I think I could easily read it again right away and I'm sure there would be many nuances I missed the first time. I'm not from the South, not Asian and do not have Sythenesia but nonetheless, I totally related to the protagonist. As other reviews have said, I was reminded of "To Kill a Mockingbird" in many ways and not just from the repeated references to it within the text.
