Falling Leaves Return To Their Roots by Adeline Yen Mah

mcclintock1808's review against another edition

dark reflective sad tense medium-paced

3.0

Follows the fascinating struggle of Adeline's life. Showcases her interesting life through the ups and downs, and

I'm glad she eventually found Bob.

The main thing was the writing was very stiff to me.
