I’m reviewing books every now and again with the BlogHer Book Club, and my first review went live today. Here’s the plot-summary bit of it:

I so enjoyed reading Jean Kwok’s “Girl in Translation,” even though the book twisted my heartstrings at nearly every turn. It’s the story of a young girl who moves with her mother from Hong Kong to New York on the promise of a new life. When things don’t pan out as expected, Kimberly and her mother are forced into what I’m pretty sure qualifies as indentured servitude at a sweatshop.

You can read the rest at BlogHer. It’s a really good book, and I think you’d like it.
