"Ky didn't allow her mother to have feelings, because to grant her these would mean acknowledging that she was a person who had desires and dreams beyond what Ky saw. It was easier to imagine her as a caricature, as an immigrant Cabramatta parent, whose only desire was for her children to become doctors and lawyers (or ideally both), whose only means of expressing love to them was through cooking their meals, washing their clothes, and criticizing them into being better people."

A strong story and really brings you into 1990s cabramatta. I somehow lacked a strong emotional connection, not sure if it was the writing or the audio narrator. This was disappointing because it should have been a 5 star novel for me.
