Beautifully written, very thoughtful chronicle of the immigrant (and first generation) experience. A novel that I enjoyed reading, although I found that it did drag a little at times and, at the end, various threads hadn't quite been drawn together to make a seamless, satisfying whole.
"In so many ways, his family's life feels like a string of accidents, unforeseen, unintended, one incident begetting another."
