This is an interesting novel about the Asian immigrant experiences of a family who have moved to America to make a better life for themselves and their daughter. It examines identity and what starting afresh really means - what we leave behind for new things and what old baggage we carry with us, unable to fully shed. The plot became a little contrived towards the end and hung more around the motif than feasibility. Also there were some quite big jumps in time which meant that I could never quite connect with Tammy. But overall I enjoyed the examination of the themes and the novel compelled me right through to the end.
This honest review is given with thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for this book.
