✨TANDEM READALONG REVIEW✨
Thank you @tandemcollectiveglobal @houseofanansi and @suchangwrites for my #gifted copy.
I was 18 when the events at Tiananmen Square occurred. It was in my peripheral memory and I remember being curious about what was happening as I was a newly minted voter and wondered what would happen if things like that were to happen here. 35 years later and the current political climate is eerily similar.
I enjoyed this book. It was dual narrative between a mother and daughter and the changing political situation in their home of Shanghai and later as an immigrant in Canada. This was not an easy read. It was heartbreaking but so informative, exactly what good historical fiction is about. This is the debut from Chang but I’ll be looking out for more from her.
As always, thank you Tandem for the wonderful readalong.
