I really, really enjoyed this. Celeste Ng’s writing style is so perfectly readable and yet full of beautiful imagery and turns of phrase. She created such a vivid setting and culture in Shaker Heights with just as vivid characters to populate it. She managed a large cast exceedingly well, and I felt like I knew each character just as well as the next. And not only did I gasp more than once, but I sank deep in thought reflecting on Ng’s subtle yet powerful descriptions of race, class, and motherhood. Would absolutely read more of her work.
