I usually read books at least 2 times but despite liking this book, I couldn’t bring myself to read it a 2nd time. I liked the Joy Luck Club more.

Sarah, I agree with you. I did not like the ending very much either. I was hoping something nice could happen but nothing did. Although the author said in the preface she changed the names of her siblings to protect them, the book toward the end does sound more and more like a vengeance. It leaves the readers in the unbalanced and unsatisfied states as the author. She failed to answer the “so what?” part.

I remember feeling such emotions towards my own mother… but I like to believe that my relationship with her is much better now (since I’ve started university and lived mostly away).

Still, I wish I could hug you the way you deserve to be hugged my your mom. :(
(I think my mom “loves” me… just not in the way that I would describe it)
