The Kitchen God's Wife

Counting this as my China book around the world.

This book was strong, well written, and engaging. Also, very depressing but made the end even more satisfying. Winnie was absolutely someone who I completely rooted for since her story started. These immigrant mom-child books always make me grateful for my own mother (who also lived through communism) and I always find myself liking the mothers so much more than the daughters. That tidbit makes me so grateful I wasn't more of an asshole growing up. This book really resonated with me, and I'm glad I discovered Amy Tan.
