A book that builds strength with each chapter. "How We Live" is especially strong.

This book was so beautiful! Amazing look into migration and the struggles of adopting a new identity. Fantastic look into cultural hybridity and the West vs East.

Took a long time from me to finish the book, because sometimes it felt like nothing new happened. Text could have been edited a bit more so that the changes in time and place would’ve made more sense.
Even though it wasn’t so easy and light to read, it was a lovely and great book. I would recommend.
