Book Club #4: End of Reflection

End of Reflection

      The summary of the book is mostly about the relationship between Kwan and Olivia. Their relationship starts when their dad died. Olivia is always embarrassed about Kwan being so dumb and doesn't know English. But Kwan shares everything about her with Olivia. Like telling her that Kwan has yin eyes which can see dead people and also about her past life. Simon is Olivia's ex husband. Kwan helps Olivia to get Simon because he cannot forget about his ex girlfriend named Elza. Then, Kwan, Olivia and Simon went to China to learn about Olivia's background and culture. When they just got to China, Kwan's Big Ma died. She couldn't even met her grandmother for the last time. First, Simon and Olivia divorced before they went on trip to China but they fell in love again in China. Then, Simon lost in the middle of trip and Kwan looks for him but she never comes back. That's the time when Olivia realized that how much Kwan mean to her. Throughout the book, Kwan shows lots of about LOVE to Olivia however, because of Olivia's irritation and selfishness at the end Olivia has lots of regret for not taking care and show love to Kwan. The theme for this book are love, culture and loyalty.

So, I think that this book has little message about hating someone is pointless and not good for both people.

Overall, I enjoyed reading this book, this is about Chinese American culture and sister relationship because I can somewhat related to them.
