This is a great novel, no matter the age of the author or how many book's she's written. You can see, hear and feel what the characters feel and what they think. Just like being right next to them! I love the back-and-forth timeline so that all is not revealed chronologically, but as it relates to where the character is in age, in maturity, in life events. A perfect combination of all the nuances within a close family while trying to assimilate while keeping the essence of a culture alive and a priority.
