Opening up myself to the experiences of other's lives via a memoir creates a empathy for the plights of those around me.
Following Susan Lieu's account of life after the death of her mother is heart wrenching. More so as the all so important quest of beauty played a large part in it.
Most everyone I know has or does visit nail salons and many are owned by Vietnamese immigrants but rarely do we have the opportunity to learn about those that work there or how and why they reached the shores of the U. S., the difficulties that awaited them.
I'm looking forward to reading the rest of The Manicurist's Daughter.
