Beautiful Country
by Qian Julie Wang
Wow! This book is a reminder of why I used to say memoirs were my favorite genre. Although this is a memoir, it's the type that reads like a fictional story (similar to The Glass Castle). Qian Qian told her story of immigration is such a beautiful way. I related to this story more than I thought I would even though I was born here in the United States.
Qian Qian starts the story with her trip over to the US at a very young age. She then continues it with her memories between then and about 6th grade. She shares all her struggles, her Mama and Baba's struggles, as well as all her highlights, including the few gifts she receives through her time in the US. This is a beautiful story that shares the things immigrants have to go through to try to raise their children in an environment that gives them more opportunities.
I really hope Qian will write more memoirs about her memories after 6th grade because she is a talented writer.
