Rounded up from 3.75
This book is three sections, each told from a different characters point of view. I enjoyed my time inside each section but found the transition jarring and a bit clunky. I did not enjoy that last 50 or so pages and was not here for the ending - it just ended. I don't need everything tied up in a bow but I like some semblance of a conclusion. I felt like this ending just dropped you off a cliff.
This book is about belonging, class, race, immigration and gender with a bit of generational trauma thrown in. Lily's point of view was probably my favorite but I enjoyed Nick's and May's as well. It was interesting to read a bit about life life in China under Mao.
Audio was done well.
