About this deal

In the past timeline, we get to know Rita through her backstory, which plays a huge role in shaping her relationship with her daughters in their childhood years.

But I still think it’s a really valuable perspective on grief, paralysis, and the weight of history.As Eleanor’s avoidance of her feelings results in a series of outrageous—often hilarious—choices, her actions begin to threaten all she holds most dear. And no one gets that more than these women — you’ll root for them as they reclaim their voices (even if you’re cringing just a little bit).

I had serious mixed feelings toward this book, with regard to both the story arc and the characters.I got some subtle metaphors here with the context of Eleanor’s family’s story, as they struggled consistently to get where they’re at and she gives up, while her husband is privileged. I’m pretty sure Chang and I had the same mom growing up, because she captures Eleanor’s mom with such emotional precision that I gasped several times. Chang starts with Eleanor in 1st person present day, and goes back to her parents' early years in Taiwan using a 3rd person narrative.
