I'm also in the process of trying to convince my book club to make it our February selection. I'll be showing them your review to help convince them :) Thanks for sharing!Sallynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-33163660110975863922016-01-16T00:09:37.606-05:002016-01-16T00:09:37.606-05:00I'm beginning to see this one pop up here and ...I'm beginning to see this one pop up here and there, and it sounds amazing!

I'm glad to see that she's such a great writer! Now I want to add this to my list too. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5918892767071973314.post-31950394104484135472016-01-13T09:55:47.733-05:002016-01-13T09:55:47.733-05:00I read an interview with Janice YK Lee, about how ...I read an interview with Janice YK Lee, about how she is local but not local (ie born in HK but not local because she's Korean). And that struck a chord with me as I'm from Singapore but my children are American citizens as they were born here in the US. They call themselves (or at least my 4yearold does) Singapore Americans. We've been toying with the idea of moving back to Asia, so I'm wondering whether these Singapore Americans of mine will be able to adapt and live in Singapore. <br /><br />All this is a long way of saying that while I did like (but not love) Lee's previous book, I am completely intrigued by this new one of hers.
