Exceptionally beautiful, expertly twined together. A gorgeous story that I was hesitant to read, foolishly fearing that it would be yet another case of an uncomfortable domestic situation poorly rendered. It was not. Everyone in this book meant something, and Ng treats them like that, allowing us to understand every single person in this book, to hear their thoughts and motivations, and to treat them like people.
Brilliant plot, brilliant characters, painful and powerful, oh my god.
