The Welcome welcomebranding — Generally I do not like books that are written as poems, and I probably would not have read this book if I had realized this beforehand. But I am very glad I did. This is a short, easy to read book that captures the childhood experiences of the author during her first year in this country after arriving here from Vietnam. The writing is simple and clear but full of language and settings that evoke the senses. It is convincingly told from a child's perspective, even though written years later.

Hx Wear hex2 — Powerful stuff. I continue to believe good historical fiction can often make history more accessible than other history books, biography, or memoir. I cried at the end. I particularly liked the timing of the events in the book. It is an effective surprise when you think you're still in exposition, but suddenly the characters are confronted with the Holocaust. The small tragedy of that timing helps drive the suffering home as much as the more blatant killing and cruelty. In also liked the theme of remembering with the mystical plot device. Good book.

Neidys Arroyo _ey_rroyo — If nothing else, skip down and read these two quotes I've put in. They are the best part of 800 pages of one of the greatest geniuses "ever to write a novel," in some opinions. It takes guts to pick this up; at 800 pages or so--dense pages--you've gotta weigh your resolve. I have not read an author who articulates principles (which are often insights into human nature) with more lucidity, period; however, for me her genius got in the way of her storytelling, rather than enhancing it. I might have better enjoyed a version where her mindblowing philosophy and occasionally moving story were sifted into two books. Here are my two favorite quotes--by far--of her book. The tragedy of it is that if you expect a story to match these quotes, you will have your heart broken. Not that such quotes are any less beautiful: Quote 1 "Nor can I suppose that when Mrs. Casaubon is discovered in a fit of weeping six weeks after her wedding, the situation will be regarded as tragic. Some discouragement, some faintness of heart at the new real future which replaces the imaginary, is not unusual, and we do not expect people to be deeply moved by what is not unusual. That element of tragedy which lies in the very fact of frequency, has not yet wrought itself into the coarse emotion of mankind; and perhaps our frames could hardly bear much of it. If we had a keen vision and feeling of all ordinary human life, it would be like hearing the grass grow and the squirrel's heart beat, and we should die of that roar which lies on the other side of silence. As it is, the quickest of us walk about well wadded with stupidity." Quote 2 "...For the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs."
