Now I knew what to expect regarding the change in the narrator. It’s Seek-Lung time, the Third Brother. But unfortunately the voice is the same. The same narrator with a different name. It’s like changing the name of a food. Call it whatever you want but bacon still smells and tastes like bacon. In the book Choy’s voice is the only voice we hear. All characters sound the same. If only it all were so tasty as some slices of steaming, golden, crispy bacon.
On page 133 the family still struggles with doubts and Stepmother is categorical: “You are Chinese”. To what Father answers: “We are also Canadians”.
We have in this chapter Suling’s first appearance.
