Following three American women of Chinese heritage over the course of sixty years, Lisa Ko's Memory Piece is a genre-blending work of art in itself, traversing the connection of friendship in an ever-changing world. The summary had me interested, but the plot had me hooked. From cover to cover, Lisa Ko kept me invested in the intertwining stories of Giselle Chin, Jackie Ong, and Ellen Ng with sections dedicated to each friend over a different period in their lives. The way Ko writes is something I haven't really read before, but now I want to read more like Memory Piece; it felt both expansive of the three friends' worlds and yet very intimate in their relationships with each other and their thoughts as they traverse into a future that feels quite dystopian. The lack of quotation marks had my brain working overdrive with how to view the conversations; are they placed in the past? Do memories fragment them? Memory Piece is a novel that will make you think and view contemporary literature differently. I found Lisa Ko's second novel an impressive, intriguing read that left me with much to think about. If you loved Lisa Ko's debut The Leavers, or want a novel that explores friendship intertwined with feelings of loneliness and alienation (not the most pleasant topics but prevalent in modern history) then Memory Piece should be on your shelf. Thank you, NetGalley and Dialogue Books for sending me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
