<div>Not going to rate this book, but the translation leaves it feeling soulless and with no direction. The amount of mentioning "Father" and "Uncle" but with no real names or anything to draw attachment leaves the characters feeling exactly like that, just characters, not people.<br><br>The only positive takeaway I could feel was a kinship with the writer in not understanding simple things like why her father wanted to have her college photo to put on the wall. It was an act of showing that his sacrifices and work was worth it for a better life for his children.</div>
