Overall great book. Incredible depth and complexity to the characters and their relationships, an intriguing plot full of historical accuracies (and inaccuracies, but hey, this is fiction), and a spell-binding tale of Chinese-American culture. However, it is also a very difficult book to slog your way through. Though the writing itself is clear, it is a swamp of emotion that requires you to drag your way through. I'm just trying to get across that it is a book that you will not breeze through. The plot and the characters will make your chest ache, your gut clench, and even the occasional smile cross your face. It is an emotionally difficult book, but a book that should be read and suffered through and enjoyed all the same.
