A review by _basicbookworm
Beautiful Country by Qian Julie Wang

5.0

This stunning memoir describes Qian Julie Wang’s experience of being an undocumented immigrant child living in poverty in the US. Despite being professors in China, Wang’s parents struggle to find a job and get by. This memoir is eye-opening and heartbreaking. It is incredibly personal and beautifully written. Her descriptions of her traumatic childhood are raw and you can tell she really put her whole heart into writing her story. This isn’t an easy read by any means, but so very important. This is a memoir I’ll be recommending to everyone I can.

Thank you to NetGalley and Doubleday Books for the advanced copy in exchange for on honest review.
