![]() ![]() I think people who are interested in the Chinese culture and sweet family stories would enjoy this book. I think it had an interesting approach with the storytelling and everything went hand-in-hand, even if it was a bit busy. It had many things going on in the story and nearly a million characters in it, I feel that made the book more iconic and gave it more style. The twins get to learn more about their mother that they had never met. Once June gets to China she tells the twins all about their mother through stories. They expected to meet their birth mother instead of June. Her father had told her the true story of her mother in China during the war and why she had to leave the twins in China by themselves as babies, June gained a greater respect for her mother and felt that she could explain everything to her sisters in China. She didn’t know how to tell them without being harsh, since they thought she had been alive all these years. June was too nervous to tell her twin sisters in China that their mother was dead. She’s spending time with all of her family members and celebrating before her trip to China. In the beginning of the story, June is at her farewell party in her parent’s house. There’s June’s father and her twin sisters in China, who don’t add much to the story. ![]() All of these mothers are Suyuan’s good friends. ![]() Rose’s mother is An-Mei, Waverly’s mother is Lindo, and Lena’s mother is Ying-ying. ![]() Some minor characters in the story are the other children of the ladies in the club. ![]()
