Hello Simi! I have to say, Both Not Half was strongly recommended to me by a close friend whose children are all 'biracial'. (Quotes to remind myself and anyone scrolling that race is a social and cultural construct). I've looked at the reader reviews for 'The Garden of Evening Mists' as well. Both added to my TBR! Thank you for your recommendations.
I read The Garden of Evening Mists years ago and I absolutely loved it. You're right, it does stay with you. Good luck with your novel 😃
