Although some parts were insightful and well done, I found myself skimming through large parts that were extremely boring.

The heroine of Jen's novel, a Chinese-American woman mourning her husband and best friend, helps a Cambodian family who have lost even more. A make-you think novel recommended for bookclubs.
