challenging emotional tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated

Really liked this. It always makes me sad in these types of historical fiction novels to see the gradual loss of culture, as someone whose family has no cultural remnants from before America. It's something I've always wanted so my favorite part of these books is seeing the grandchildren, great grandchildren beginning to rediscover their family history and cultural heritage. So while it was difficult to see Meilin, Renshu, and even Lily struggle for most of the book, the ending was really satisfying to me as Renshu finally found his peach blossom spring.
