pickLoved the way Min Jin Lee tells this story through different generations of a family. After reading this I really want to visit Japan and South Korea - the history of both nations is written beautifully and the food sounds delicious too! All in all an excellent thought provoking book about identity with well-rounded and believable characters.
pickThis book was amazing! It's up there with one of the best books I have read. I found it incredibly empowering, moving and insightful. It offers much more than the title suggests and if you're looking for a book that has female empowerment at it's heart, this is it! I love to read books that showcase a different culture to my own and I thoroughly enjoyed the Anglo/Indian aspect of this book. 5 stars from me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
so-soRecently finished this book after reading the Mr Mercedes trilogy in the wrong order! (Finders Keepers, then Mr Mercedes and finally End of watch). Loved the first two books and thought Stephen King's venture into writing detective novels was a successful one! However, the telekinesis featured in End of Watch was a bit of a stretch for me, this sci-fi part of the book seemed strange having read plausible plot lines in the previous books.
