Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang

I was a bit distracted by the mandarin- I guess this might be the first time that I’ve read a book with foreign phrases and sentences in a language that I actually understand. One thing I wanted to know more was why her parents decided to come over to America in the first place? I can infer the reasons, but I wish it had been more explicitly stated. Or perhaps the author wanted to keep us in the world of a small child who didn’t understand adult behaviors?
