Year of Impossible Goodbyes

Year of Impossible Goodbyes by Sook Nyul Choi was an interesting book to read. After reading So Far from the Bamboo Grove, it was weird to read from the other perspective. I feel that both of these books have the potential to be very controversial in the classroom. I looked online to see what age is recommended for this book and it said 10+. My little sister is 10 and I don't think I would feel comfortable having her read this novel. I understand that it is essential to have children understand that there are other types of living and world besides from their own but I think it would raise a lot of topics that I am not sure how I would respond to when confronted.
