Status Updates From Long Way Home: Journeys of ...

Wow de verdad que Flora ha pasado por demasiadas cosas, demasiaaaadas.

spoiler!










no me imagino viendo a mi hermana casándose a los 15 y mi papá muriendo relativamente joven cuando solo tienes 10 años

No puedo creer que hayan dado una de sus hijas a una familia x solo porque esas personas no podían tener hijos o sea ????¿¿¿ me parece inimaginable. Además, me causa más tristeza el hecho de que esa chica no tuvo una vida tan fácil.

This is proving a fascinating family history with a lot to offer those interested in immigrant experiences. 🙂

Really interesting perspective on this one.

Long Way Home is appropriately titled. Nearing the halfway mark and Flora is not yet in Montana. That said, her journey offers a fascinating glimpse at the U.S. immigration process, the unique challenges faced by immigrants from China, and the bias that complicated the process even when the traveler in question is an American citizen.

Struck by the material in this one. The book hits interesting historical material but the memoir includes some truly brilliant cultural notes that I've not previously encountered.
