18. The Emperor of Gladness

from Chatting Chapters · host Paris Williams + Hannah Mews

We just wrapped up our deep dive into "The Emperor of Gladness" by Ocean Vuang, and let me tell you, it was a journey. The contemporary fiction novel felt heavy and emotionally charged, it also left us reflecting on addiction and family dynamics. This book is a testament to how life can be both ordinary and extraordinary at the same time. Hai's story is a poignant reminder of the complexities of mental health and the impact of relationships.
