This book manages to tell the rich and impactful life stories of a multitude of characters in such a compelling and addictive way.
Each sentance in this tapestry had its own purpose and added more depth to the story - not a single word was wasted.
Every character was so three-dimensional and flawed in their own way, yet we are able to relate to or at least root for almost every single one.
I appreciate Min Jin Lee bringing popular attention to this part of history that I knew so little about, and for conveying it in such a compassionate way.
