A review by sbnich
A River of Stars by Vanessa Hua
4.0
A swirling glimpse into Chinese birth tourism, social structure, culture, immigration, and expectations, rolled into a story with rich characters and scenes.
You could taste the steamed pork buns, smell the salt tinged air of San Francisco, and feel the desperation of two girls, Daish and Scarlett, united by maternity and misfortune.
Hua provides a beautiful peek into a world completely foreign, with lush detail and a compelling narrative.
