Green Island by Shawna Yang Ryan

3.0

This book made me realise that I don't really know much about Taiwan's history...being half-Taiwanese and all that. For me this family saga sort of sagged midway...I could care less about the family's dreary times in 1980s California. Towards the end the author redeems herself with a very arresting turnaround, totally unexpected, graphic details and all that. I would have liked a bit more facts and history.
