This is more of a personal note rather than a review. I studied this book in Chinese class while studying abroad in Taiwan. It was around the time when my mom called me to say that my grandmother had passed away. It was heartbreaking to be far from my family, and this book helped me deal with my emotions throughout such difficult time. Therefore I am forever grateful to Jimmy Liao and his beautiful book for giving me the much needed support and consolation in time of grief.
A story of friendship. a little girl went on trip to visit her best friends' (Viviane)family as she promised. Viviane passed away. This is first time the little girl went on the trip without Viviane. very simple, but touching.
