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

3.5

challenging emotional reflective sad slow-paced

---

Disconcerting and powerful memoir of her childhood as a Chinese immigrant in Northern California. Maxine captures the essence of her childhood experience by writing in a non linear, straightforward manner. She retells stories she heard from her parents, tells stories from multiple perspectives, and let's the reader be wrapped in her parents and ancestors beliefs.

Very compelling memoir.
