Waiting Between The Trees/ Double Face Blog

I thought that this was an interesting part of the book because it showed another change in a relationship in the story. I think what has surprised me the most about these last few chapters in the book is how quickly everyone started to realize how wrong they were about each other especially the daughters and their mothers in particular. I thought that this was significant because it showed all the progressions that have been made in the story. I also think is starting to bring up the question of whether this family will find “balance.” I found this story particularly interesting because of what Ying-Ying does. It seemed as if the roles switched as she found herself talking about her daughter June’s marriage, which then goes into her story. One thing I noticed was this questionable superstitious idea that Ying-Ying has that her daughter has not taken on the spirit that she should have due to her being born on the Year of the Tiger. I say questionable because it is a question of the heritage that has been passed down to her. All throughout the book, each mother and daughter seem to have very similar events that have happened in their life. In Double Face, I thought it was weird because it revolved around heritage as well. I think that Waverly and Lindo’s relationship has showed the most change because you can see that their interactions with each other have changed greatly. I am curious about how this story will end especially because it ends with Jing-Mei who has been through some tough situations through most of the book.
