Freshly Read Books | How Much of These Hills is Gold Book Review | Booker 2020 Longlist @FreshlyReadBooks | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 56 minutes ago.
How Much of These Hills is Gold by C Pam Zhang took me longer to get through than I expected, but I was happy that I made it to the end! While I didn't love the first half (past the first 20 or so pages), the second half was full of quotes and themes that I really enjoyed and I was excited to discuss!
