A review by miszjeanie
Diamond Head by Cecily Wong
5.0
I was very skeptical about this book because of the mixed reviews, but I am so glad I didn’t heed the advice of the negative reviewers.
What. a. story.
Wong is a masterful storyteller and her language is pristine. The descriptive prowess in this book is overpowering and yet, it feels just right. Diamond Head is told in turns by the Leong women and it is a story of secrets. The secrets a family have kept and the ways they have been mangled by these secrets.
A soaring family saga, this book is an emotional rollercoaster, deeply engrossing and so true to life. Every member of the Leong family, especially Bohai, is engraved on my heart. It’s not a perfect book and I honestly found Theresa annoying, but Wong will have you grappling with all the issues these characters face.
Diamond Head is writing well done.
