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.

Revisado: 05-15-19
Loved the book. Usually after I read a book i forget about it and move on to the next one -- so much so that often I won't be able to tell you much about it a year later. With this book, the more i think about it, the more I like it, especially the last few chapters. After i finished the book, i kind of sat there thinking about it -- like when a great movie has a great ending.
the narrator Feodor Chin does a great job with the cadence and pacing of the book, though -- to no fault of his -- i found the inter-chapter scene changes that were noted in the book were not easily captured in the audio because there isn't any audio cue for that. that made some of these transitions harder to follow but it doesn't detract from the overall experience.
to fully experience it, it is good for listening to on a long walk or something where you won't get distracted.
