The Leavers

A novel about the 1st and 2nd generation immigration experience in America. Through the eyes of illegal immigrant mother Polly, and her son Deming/Daniel, who ends up in adoption and is torn between two cultures. This is well written, consistent in content and quality, it managed to make me emotional at least once (the skype conversation at his birthday), so all in all solid, but not overly exciting.
