This is another book with an unusual narrative structure that at first feels disjointed, but then reveals itself to be an essential part of the author's grand design. Like floors in a building, or like layers in an archaeological site, each chapter moves a little deeper into the narrator's family history and identity. Almost as though Ng were excavating the narrator's sister's suicide rather than describing it.

There, I've just tried to mimic how she does it. Go check this one out - it's very underappreciated.
