Homegoing

“We believe the one who has the power. He is the one who gets to write the story. So when you study history, you must always ask yourself, Whose story am I missing? Whose voice was suppressed so that this voice could come forth? Once you have figured that out, you must find that story too. From there, you begin to get a clearer, yet still imperfect, picture.”

I loved this book. It spoke to me as the daughter of immigrants (towards the end) and I learned so much history. It’s beautifully written and so engaging. I just loved it.
