Bookclub Review
 

The author and translator were invited to attend and lead the book group discussion.

The group was mostly shy at first, but as time progressed, they warmed up and opinions began to flow. Toward the end, the author concluded that the underlying message of her book was, “Can people really immigrate?”

This is a charming book. A great page-turner and an enjoyable story. Readers will enjoy it!

Our rating 3 1/2 of 5
