A review by victoriathuyvi
The Magical Language of Others by E.J. Koh

3.0

I thought it was beautifully written and certain sections captivated me. And while I thought the style of this memoir was special in its distinctiveness, it also made me feel detached. Maybe that was the intent as the mom's heartfelt letters were one-sided as were the families, literally detached. That's poetic. But it still felt hard for me to love this book and want to indulge in it more.
