An immaculately researched, honestly written look into the British Chinese experience, I am so grateful to Hung for writing this book and sharing the diverse and marginalized voices and stories within.

I could hear Hung’s anger and passion come across in her conversational style and it was so refreshing to hear someone call out the behaviour, policies, and politics so candidly and in such a well articulated way!

Practically, as an immigrant myself, there were a few sections that, while validating, stirred up some stuff for me. Expect to feel a wide range of emotions while reading, but don’t look away. This book is incredibly important, especially in the current global political climate. It feels hopeless at times, but each section closes with a glimmer of hope.

The focus of the book was predominantly on England and Wales, and I found myself hoping to hear from the British Chinese community in Scotland. Especially as our narrator was Scottish.

Speaking of, Leung’s narration was very well done and I enjoyed listening to this audio format. Though, the reams of statistics rattled off and the inclusion of acronyms were sometimes difficult to follow in the audiobook format.
