Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang
5.0

This book was so raw and it made me feel things that a book has not made me feel in a long time. Empathy and thankfulness. This is an incredible memoir about Qian and her family's travels to America or "beautiful country" for a better life. What they are greeted with is far from this dream that they had envisioned leaving china. This story was so beautifully written and it had this way of making me feel every possible emotion all in one. I truly could not put this down, one of the best memoirs I've read in the last year!
