A review by smusie
The Book of Salt by Monique Truong

4.0

There are several mistakes in the Goodreads synopsis of this book--the main character's name, the status of his father for much of the book, the seeming emphasis of his decision whether to accompany his employers to America. The book is much more complex than this blurb would make it seem, and is worth reading to untangle the many threads and nuances of meaning.
