Speak, Okinawa: A Memoir by Elizabeth Miki Brina
5.0
challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced

A really good read, but also really hard to swallow and extremely honest. I cried several times. It deals with themes of cultural identity and complex families, and is intertwined with the fraught history of U.S., Japanese, and Chinese occupation of Okinawa.
