I know this book is ultra famous, but it didn't caught my attention until this year. I wanted to read a book about characters who were dealing with culture and heritage problems, so when I read the synopsis of this book, I was delighted. This book, is an amazing example of how family, values, traditions and cultural beliefs can be hard to understand, especially if you were born in a culture and live in another.
I liked some stories more than others, but overall it was a very pleasant read. I've learned a lot about Chinese culture and traditions, and it made me realize my own situation. I liked the family dynamics portrayed in each story and how they worked everything out.
I think this book should be read by anyone who wants a deeper understanding of life in general.
I won this book through GoodReads and I thank to publishers for providing me this copy. My review isn't influenced by this fact.
I first read this 20 years ago. It's a wonderful book, and it occurs to me now that it's really more of a novel in stories than a novel. The chapters stand alone nicely and make a satisfying whole.
I loved that every chapter was its own mini story, and each story so beautifully written and engrossing. I cried at the end.
