3.5

The characters were wonderfully vivid. The grinding poverty and desperation were very well described. It is unfortunate that this feels more contemporary than it should.

tpixie I loved this book. I need to read her other ones. I did send the child‘s book that she wrote to my granddaughter. (edited) 1w

Nebklvr @tpixie Huh. I didn‘t know she wrote a kids book. 1w

Nebklvr @tpixie Someone said the sequel is sad. I thought this was quite grim in places. 1w

picked this up on indie bkstore day from Changing Hands pop up shop of banned books. The Tangs move to the US for a better life. This book is really upbeat,yet doesn‘t sugar coat how they are exploited by a hotel owner as mom,dad,& daughter Mia do everything to run a motel owned by a guy who only pays them part of the cost of a nights stay. I was joyful to watch them slowly find some success while not losing their empathy. Mia, a super character

February #wrapup

Life has been full of distractions and I‘m finding it hard to focus on my reading. I was lucky to finish these books last month, mostly for book clubs and buddy reads. I enjoyed all of them.
