This memoir really got me. I think it's because I know that I at some point have to deal with loosing my mother and it might be that this book helped me preparing for it. But I also learned a lot about Chinese traditions and about live as an immigrant in the US. Kat Chow shows us how deep grief can go, that some feelings, even though untold, run from generation to generation, and that we all deal with loss in our very own ways.
