I hadn't been keeping up with #aprilbookshowers, but today's prompt is #setinsoutheastasia, and I had to celebrate diverse settings. Some of these are problematic (looking at you, The Windup Girl), but the settings of these books are so good.
Personal fact: My mom grew up in Burma and her family fled the military coup (and the ethnic cleansing -- Burma used to be a giant melting pot for Asia) and ended up in San Francisco.
I am trying to be patient.
But I counting down the days until the next book. I may have to reread this one in the mean time. 🕰📚📕📗
What sets The Oddfits apart from the current books for young adults is how it was written. It did not lean towards a very conversational style which most books nowadays tend to do, it told a story the way stories are meant to be told: a little serious, quite rich, and with an air of mystery.
