wow wow wow- such rich storytelling that takes you across generations to understand how we all are just trying our best- and when that trying doesn’t result in what we intended, it can have generational impacts

I feel like it’s going to take me awhile to wrap my head around this book. The beginning was so baffling and I had no idea where it was going, but by the end, it all added up. I’m so blown away by how Khong told a story like this and with such beautiful writing. Wow.
