Girl In Translation by Jean Kwok - This was the book I'd been waiting for! Once begun, I couldn't put it down. It's the story of Kimberly, who moves from Hong Kong to America with her mom. Her evil aunt gives them a job in her sweatshop, and arranges for them to live in an unheated apartment in an abandoned building in a terrible neighborhood. I don't want to say one more thing about this book. I absolutely loved it, and hope that you will, too. It's a story of surviving in America in the 1970s or 80s. I chose this one off the book club shelf at the library based on the cover, title and blurb. Although the last few books I've read were enjoyable, this one surpassed expectations. Let me know if you loved it as much as I did. Monday, December 20, 2010
