4.5⭐️
The Manicurist’s Daughter is a fascinating and moving memoir of grief, family, and the search for truth. I was held in thrall from the first page to the last, as Susan explored what drove her mother, from her determined struggle to make it America in pursuit of a better life, to the eternal quest for beauty that proved her downfall. The effects rippled through Susan’s own life, and I felt honored to have her share this deeply personal story.
Author Susan Lieu did an excellent job narrating the audiobook, adding an extra personal touch to the retelling. I switched back and forth between the book and the audiobook, and the story holds up perfectly in both formats.
Thank you Susan Lieu, Celadon Books, Bookish First, Macmillan Audio, and NetGalley and for providing this ARC and galley copy for review consideration. All opinions expressed are my own.
