Helpful Score: 2

Emotionally expressive writing style. The reader becomes involved in the lives of two American girls living in Hong Kong, as their father is a photographer in Viet Nam. He describes his life to his family and the girls play-out how life is in his world. The older girl craves attention, especially her father, who is away much of the time. She guides the younger girl into some troublesome situations. The ending is dramatic and filled with retrospect, but not surprising. Great descriptions and lovely phrases. Highly recommended. Short read but so rich.
