I really enjoyed this multi-generational story. It showed us a slice of Vietnamese culture with a focus on the role of women. As in many cultures, baby boys are valued over girls and in this family the curse of only daughters impacts so many lives. But as each story is revealed and they start to come together, we see that a curse can also be a blessing. This one was equally entertaining and beautiful. This would make a fabulous TV series.
I accessed this one via Libro.FM thanks to their ALC program. All opinions above are my own.
This was too complex to give a real synopsis that would be any better than the one you can find online. Do you prefer reviews that give you a synopsis or ones that just dives into what they think?
I am the Vice President of Clinical Affairs for a medical device company where my job is to promote the utility of the device to doctors. I have science and business degrees and have editorial experience in medical communications. In college, I served as an Editorial Assistant for a healthcare communications company and have served on two editorial boards for peer-reviewed journals.
In my free time, I always have a book in my hand... or two or three! On average, I read 20 books a month. I have looked to combine two of my skill sets to review on Goodreads and promote books on Instagram that I love to other readers.
I'm open to partnering with publishers as an influencer for book tours, giveaways etc.
