For me, it was a compelling psychological portrait of a family that focused on the consequences of parents piling their unrealized ambitions and dreams onto their children. In this case, Lydia bore the brunt of it. I thought the psychological aspects were well drawn. (less)

How do I join this community?

How does Ng adapt the bildungsroman to express the experiences of minority groups within American society? Is it possible to discuss ethnic subgroups as “characters” who progress through stages of development?

I have seen this book at the Book Odyssey in Atascadero and will check it out. Thanks, Theresa. I just purchased, "Wanda Hickey's Night of Golden Memories and Other Disasters," by Jean Shepherd. He is the author of "In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash," the novel that was the inspiration for the classic movie, "A Christmas Story," which I read first. Have you read either of these titles? Both are fine novels.

I live in the Netherlands and buy all Kindle books and audio books from Amazon.com. I bought this book, but was restricted from buying the audio for this book? Can someone inform me why? I am hoping amazon made an error.
