Joan is Okay - Weike Wang
She read; he is going to read
Publication Date: Jan. 18, 2022
I really liked this book. I can’t quite describe why, but I really liked it. Joan is born in America to Chinese immigrants who return to their homeland when she attends Harvard. She is an introvert; reclusive, content in her single, childless life, and dedicated to her job as an attending physician in New York City. The book, among other areas, delves into the life of immigrants, racism exhibited toward Asian Americans, mourning for lost parents, and the emergence of the Covid pandemic. It is amusing, poignant, profound, and, unfortunately, a very fast read.
