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

4.0

Intense telling of a life through the eyes of a child. It's sometimes hard to discern between real life and imagination, thereby serving as a reminder of the immense responsibility of child guardians, and the impressionable nature of children. I think the author sums it up perfectly on page 205: "I continue to sort out what's just my childhood, just my imagination, just my family, just the village, just movies, just living."
