Damn. This book is full of unspeakable violence (trigger warnings abound). The end happened and wrapped up quickly and deserved more time, but overall very well done. I see why The Reading Women selected it as a previous book of the year.
It's been two weeks and I can't stop thinking about this book
the layers of grief, trauma, expectations our main character had to face and deal with as a first child immigrant was heart wrenching and exhaustive. for me it was almost surreal as I witnessed so much of my core trauma reflected in this character. when he was angry I saw myself and when he was subdued and obedient at his parents whims I also saw myself.
I believe anyone can enjoy this book but if you come from a similar background you'll find it may hit a little too close to home.
