Book Review of White Ghost Girls

White Ghost Girls
reviewed on + 41 more book reviews


Two sisters who are living in Hong Kong in 1967, during the Viet Nam war. Frankie and Kate living in this different county. They are called the ghost girls because they are white. Their father is a photographer, going off days or weeks at a time to take pictures of the Viet Nam war. This story is narrated by Kate the life she and her sister live, largely unsupervised. One day, at the market, they decide to run away with tragic results.
It was a fast and quick read. I loved the narration of Kate. But it was too short. It left you wondering what else happened. Their mother seemed cold and distant. Frankie was rebelling and didn't seem to have any supervision from her mother.
