Family is forever,
By
This review is from: Green Tea (Paperback)
Never has the old adage of "You don't marry a person, you marry a family" so true. Marriage is the merging, and at times the collision, of two cultures. Green Tea is a wonderfully well-written novel that tells the story of a new bride, Jung, and her "initiation" period into a new marriage. Jung soon realizes that with all marriages, there are times of joy as well as times of challenges. This book is truly phenomenal and speaks volumes about what it means to be a woman, for better or worse. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading the future works of this author.

A MUST READ,
By
This review is from: Green Tea (Paperback)
This is a touching story that grabs the reader from page one. It is a good read for anyone interested in learning about the little examined Korean immigrant experience and Korean family dynamics. Chung's fresh and unique perspective sets her apart from other Korean writers of our time.

a wonderful read,
By
This review is from: Green Tea (Paperback)
My wife asked me to read this book and I thought that it was wonderfully written, and talked about a family very similar to my own. My parents immigrated to the US and I could relate the stories in the book to the stories that they told me about their experience. What I loved about it was the way that the characters were described. This book has balance...it's not just a book for women and daughter-in-laws/mother-in-laws. The stories about Jung were equally entertaining. I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in reading about families (and their dysfunctions!) and their adventures dealing with real life situations.
