A review by sallielu
Girl in Translation by Jean Kwok
4.0
4.5/5 It was so difficult to put this book down. Such a compelling story about a poor Chinese immigrant's experience trying to survive in America. It really touched me, to feel like some adjacent parts of my own life felt vaguely represented.
I especially enjoyed how the author provided the literal translation of Cantonese phrases in the dialogue and then would explain the English equivalent meaning.
A story that should be read.
