This one really hits hard. I read Little Fires Everywhere before this which was more about motherhood and focused on female characters and their definition of fulfillment and satisfaction. This novel is a character study of a young woman with high aspirations cut short by life's unexpected turn, a man who never fit into the society, a daughter who was choked with selfish love and expectations, an ignored and frustrated son and a daughter who was a wallflower while everything took place. This book was quite hard to read and I recommend it if you are looking for drama and understanding of the immigrant life from an internal perspective.
