I liked this book. Gail Tsukiyama is one of my favorite authors, but I felt like this book was definitely not up to par with her other books. There was just not enough going on, although the character development was pretty good. It took me a very long time to get through, it just didn't keep my attention for longer than 30 pages at a time.

Beautiful writing as usual. Tsukiyama writes about family bonds and tradition like nobody else. The women in her books make you want to jump into the story and be their friend, help them, argue with them, laugh and cry with them. She takes us on a journey from old Hong Kong to modern times with love and joy, sorrow and pain. More please.
