Colette Denali’s Reviews > Daughters of the Bamboo Grove: From China to America, a True Story of Abduction, Adoption, and Separated Twins > Status Update

This book has a journalistic tone; it's an easy read. The author doesn't ignore the obvious racism/sexism inherent in Americans adopting Chinese girls, but her privilege regularly flares. There's a disturbing paragraph when Demick describes a family slaughtering a duck through the creepy lens of her privilege.

Separated identical twins? What a hook! I hope the families are receiving ongoing therapeutic support...
