Draws you in from the very first page!
The visual descriptions and imagery of this story drew me in and immersed from the very first page. I also felt so instantly connected to the family and their history; their dynamics and each characters’ dreams—I didn’t want to stop reading! Even just in the first chapters, I was able to get a sense of complex themes woven through the book—about identity; big goals balanced with filial sense of obligation; colorism and prejudices within the character’s indigenous community; and more. Already, I can tell that this story will be such an incredibly powerful one.
