Halaby's choice to alternate the narratives of the four young women offers real characterizations to latch onto, and her prose, often lyrical--particularly when the speakers relate other people's stories--deepens the complications of history and heritage. Contemplative and lush, this coming-of-age tale resonates with the challenges of cross-cultural life.
