Beautiful, sad, hopeful. 

I underlined so many lines and though I’ve never cried reading a book, this one has come closest.

I felt a bit intimidated when picking this up because it’s not my usual genre but I’m so glad I did.

My first of Amy Tan’s books. Generational trauma and grief especially in the lens of mother-daughter relationships is always hard to read and I avoid like the plague but it wasn’t that bad. There were parts where I wanted to give up but a lot of the historical content I really enjoyed.
