In Chia-Chia Lin’s debut, The Unpassing, we meet a Taiwanese immigrant family of six struggling to make ends meet on the outskirts of Anchorage, Alaska. The father, hardworking but beaten down, is employed as a plumber and repairman while the mother, a loving, strong-willed, and unpredictably emotional matriarch, holds the house together. When 10-year-old Gavin contracts meningitis at school, he falls into a deep, nearly fatal coma. He wakes up a week later to learn that his little sister Ruby was infected, too. She did not survive.

Depressing and sad
Revisado: 06-16-19
I had read two reviews recommending this book. Both giving rave reviews.Therefore I sought out the title on audible to read. I found it to be depressing and sad. The story itself is tragic and depressing but many stories in life and literature are, that does not stop a good story from being compelling to read and / or listen to. This one was not. I also often found it boring. I kept waiting for it to get better. For it to turn a corner and improve. It never happened. Don't waste you time.
