The book was a short read, but it felt more laborious than I expected. I like that the story centers around how her hair ties into her two identities and her memories of growing up biracial in Europe. And while the translation is beautifully done, the medium through which the story is told never caught me. It feels a bit disjointed, and it was difficult to get through.
