![]() ![]() Her writing style is beautiful and it’s not overly flowery or too simplified, which made me really enjoy this. I think Pan is an amazing writer and all her work to making this book the best it could be was really clear. Pan does this through mixing a very subtle vein of magic in through the red bird and how it leaves feathers and sends different mementos to Leigh. Throughout the story, Leigh embarks on the journey of accepting her mother’s suicide through confronting the past. This was such a beautiful read and I had a great time reading. The Astonishing Color of After deals with both Leigh’s past and present through intertwining real and magic. Leigh travels to Taiwan to meet her maternal grandparents for the first time, trying to find her mother in the form of a giant red bird, uncovering family secrets, and forging a relationship with her grandparents, all while aware of her half Asian and half white identity. Leigh Chen Sanders is certain her mother turned into a bird after committing suicide. ![]()
