eesti23 's review for:
The Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts
by Maxine Hong Kingston
emotional
reflective
slow-paced
The Woman Warrior creates an account of a girl who grows up in America amongst her Chinese family and community. The novel moves from point to point in time, mainly in a story-telling type way. Stories about older relatives lives in China are mixed with stories of life in America and this at times can be a bit challenging to follow. Each chapter, whilst semi-independent, does flow together with the other chapters creating a satisfied feeling at the end. Some chapters were much more enjoyable to read, in my opinion, than others - in particular the one about Maxine's mother becoming a doctor and when Maxine's Aunt came to stay with them in America.
A surprisingly enjoyable read, especially once you get a bit further into the book.
