RU offers a great auto-fictional biography recount of the author’s life as a Vietnamese woman moving to I really liked the structure of this book. Evidently, I loved the diary being mixed with the “Strong Opinions” with the “Soft” ones. I really loved Anya’s character! She had so much spunk in her! Throughout the story, I even grow to like and feel compassion towards Señor C. I secretly loved despising Alan. He’s so despicable. This book was way too heavy on politics and Australian politics but I enjoyed the way the politics was articulated. Although it slowed the pacing of the reading; the triple narrative was essential to the story and what made it an enjoyable book, in my opinion. Overall, a great political and life lessons learning read.
“Those we love never truly leave us, Harry. There are things that death cannot touch.”
“In every shining moment of happiness is that drop of poison: the knowledge that pain will come again. Be honest to those you love, show your pain. To suffer is as human as to breathe.”
