"Languages, as they open you, can also allow you to close."
I don't think I've ever read a memoir so fast (one sitting), yet I didn't want it to end. And I don't think that I've ever read a memoir I know I'll read again, but I will with this one.
Koh's story reads like a novel but is full to bursting with facts and truths and history. Including her mother's letters really added depth and perspective to Koh's individual experiences, both as a teenager and adult, and also demonstrated letting go and slow-release forgiveness. Beautiful.

Oh wow, this sounds truly amazing. I have been reading a lot of memoirs lately as well so I will have to look into this one.
