Read for English class — A beautiful tale of the battle against grief, generational struggles, and political injustice. I was very moved by this one, as I related to the protagonist’s struggles with connecting to a culture he feels entirely separated from, living in America and being mixed. Ugly cried at the end. I love a good hopeful conclusion, and this book had just that.
