The Taste of Ginger

This book is just not my personal taste. I encourage you to try it out if you want.

I had a hard time connecting with the main character, even as an immigrant myself. A lot of what she was going through I also went through, but I was way younger. I think it took her way too long to humanize her mother and parents and give her mother in particular some grace. Like, way too long. Plus, like others have said some of the subplots seemed to just tack on too much and even seem unnecessary to her central development.
