The Last Story of Mina Lee by Nancy Jooyoun Kim
3.0
dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Very emotional, very slow but thought provoking read about a mother and daughter and how much that relationship matters.  Margot comes home after 8 long years and finds her mother, Mina, dead in her living room.  Margot tries to piece together her mother's fate and her past.  Full of very developed characters with such  sad, emotional pasts.  I feel rung out after reading this one.
