A sad and touching story. The pain and loneliness of the characters weighed heavily on me even after I finished reading the book. The atmosphere feels so gray and suffocating. Interracial marriage in a small town in the 60s was hard. Expectations of parents on children to fulfill their own dreams, being different and not able to fit in were even harder, especially for a teenager in a dysfunctional family. How could things get so wrong? It was sad that the parents knew so little about their children, what they were thinking or going through in life. The book is well written and for sure I am going to read Celeste Ng’s next book “Little Fires Everywhere.”
