The opening chapters are captivating. They setup the characters, setting and plot with a fair amount of dramatic tension while also toying with the sentimental and romantic presentation of Americanism. I felt reminded of a.m.homes - though Ng is not nearly as skilful in her rendering of these tropes, yet.
But the middle section of the book has taken a frustrating turn, sidestepping plot for secondhand recount.
