I look into the mirror and repeat to myself
I look into the mirror and repeat to myself
Giselle Lin Xuan Qing
Now an adult woman, and just before her parents’ separation, the protagonist looks back on growing up in a difficult home and reflects on the meaning of her name and those of her sisters. She offers the sisters safe spaces in which they can articulate their anger, love and fears. Their former rivalry also surfaces. Sisterhood at its best.
