The story follows a
Chinese-American man who marries an American woman (“Blondie”) and they adopt
two children. His disapproving Chinese
mother has strong feelings about his decisions, and after her death he finds
that in order to inherit some particular items of great sentimental value, the
family has to take in a distant relative from China.
I’ll leave the plot there,
but it was a good story. Also unique was
the alternating narrators – not just each chapter but every few
paragraphs. Very interesting style that I thought would be annoying but actually worked.
