I loved this book. And as an American-American, I still managed to pick up on the different subtleties Ha Jin worked into the narrative as he describes Nan, Pingping, and Taotao's struggles with their homeland and America. Don't think that just because you don't have a similar heritage as the author you can't enjoy this book. Besides, Ha Jin proves over and over again that he writes in a (beautiful) way that makes even a story like this very easy for anyone to relate to.
