(4) YA Lin's first-person narrative begins in 1996, when she is five and her Japanese grandmother comes to Rhode Island to live with the family. Easton focuses on the psychic abilities Lin and Obaachan share and follows their close relationship through Lin's adolescence and her grandmother's death from radiation-related leukemia. Too many subplots crowd the novel, but the well-written story remains compelling.
