Simply put, this is a seriously spooky book about trauma that spans five generations of Asian women, from Gigi, a comfort woman in Hong Kong during World Warr II, to Alice and her daughter Luna in contemporary Vancouver. Can terrifying physical abuse and anger create vengeful ghosts? How can unspoken legacies of violence shape a family? Moments of love and kindness are contrasted with evil and cruelty. Ms. Lee’s story progresses to a truly terrifying end – highly recommended.
