Judge's commentary:
- What did you like best about this book? Pai has a great writing
style, and her first and last chapters made me teary. The last line
is so lofty it banged around in my head for a day. I'd like to read
some fiction by this author.
- How can the author improve this book? She occasionally injects
a bit too much small talk or material that is specific to her family,
but I would submit this book to a royalty publisher.
