Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang

4.0

4.5!!

"Secrets. They have so much power, don't they?"

I truly can't decide whether to round this down or up. Beautiful Country is an absolutely gorgeous, raw memoir that will stick with me for a really long time. It's so important and I truly recommend it to everybody. The way Qian Julie Wang recounts her life along with her parent's lives and sheds such a light on an under-talked reality is unlike anything I've ever read. I really wish we got to see more of her in her adulthood though. Only getting a few pages dedicated to that at the end was a little disappointing.

read for aapi heritage month.
