The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts by Maxine Hong Kingston

5.0

Kingston's memoir is written as a series of short stories about her family's experience fleeing the Chinese Revolution and her own self-explorative journey reconciling two distinct cultures being herself Chinese-American growing up in San Francisco. Her stories blend fantasy and folklore with fact. Beautiful, powerful, and poetic.
