Betsey Warrick hosted the February 19, 2004 book club meeting where seven of us discussed Maxine Hong Kingston's Woman Warrior: Memoirs of a Girlhood Among Ghosts (c) 1975, 224 pages. "A Chinese American woman tells of the Chinese myths, family stories and events of her California childhood that have shaped her identity."
We had a fairly lively discussion with an intrigued response: The talk-story approach with all its ghosts, perhaps, made it challenging for some readers to get through the book. However, we found it worthwhile to do so, having enjoyed the images evoked such as the visiting sister-in-law and appreciated that the characters were different at different times (and places) in their lives.
