I was so glad that I was reading the last half of this in the safety of my house because this book had me feeling so many emotions! If you‘re a sucker for strong female leads that overcame insane obstacles, this book is for you. #nonfiction #feminism #safiyasinclair #motivational #memoir

A phenomenal book! I was totally captured by Tania James' storytelling. The book is about the adventures of a woodcarver/toymaker along with thoughtful characters like a French clockmaker, an Indian French lady, an Indian sepoy/agent and so on. The characters are so well thought that you can't help but empathize with them. #immigration #Taniajames #Loot #colonization #fiction

This book for me is a tough one to review because I don‘t know how I feel about it. To be honest, the theme of intergenerational trauma, immigration and traditional parenting is covered really well in the book and it‘s something I could relate with but the book lacks consistent storytelling and a solid storyline. Which book left you indecisive? #immigration #Vietnamwar #trauma #parenting
