About the race in the book:

Example:
Lydia begins to think of her family as the town of Middlewood does. She begins to see that she is part of an immigrant family whose father is Asian and whose mother is Caucasian. She has flashbacks about being called "oriental" in school because she does not belong. |
This chapter in this book is very similar to "Everything I Never Told You". The author of this article talks about how this girl let the rude comments about her ethnicity from her peers roll off her shoulders. This book, unlike mine, does not talk about the girl committing suicide because the character does not. She just goes into detail about how in the 1800-1900’s racism was worse than it is now.
