Seventeen-year-old Annalie is bubbly, sweet, and self-conscious, whereas nineteen-year-old Margaret is sharp and assertive. Margaret looks just like their mother, while Annalie passes for white and looks like the father who abandoned them years ago, leaving their Chinese immigrant mama to raise the girls alone in their small, predominantly white Midwestern town. When their house is vandalized with a shocking racial slur, Margaret rushes home from her summer internship in New York City. She expects outrage. Instead, her sister and mother would rather move on. Especially once Margaret’s own investigation begins to make members of their community uncomfortable.

Brief Summary This Place Is Still Beautiful by XiXi Tian

I was always going to fall in love with a story about sisters. And a relationship that is complex, full of tenderness and rage. Being Dual POV is 100% the right call for this book so we can not only see each sister’s mindset, but also how they see each other. We can see the pressure and expectations on Margaret’s shoulders. Her fury which bubbles close to the surface. And we can also understand Annalie’s desire for fun amidst a world that tries to tear us down.This is one of those stories where at the beginning, I thought I am going to only love Margaret. Because I’m a Margaret. But This Place is Still Beautiful doesn’t allow easy answers. And by the end I honeslty couldn’t pick. Annalie is embaressed of Margaret, but deeper so, she’s reminded of her white passing privilege and also the ways in which she doesn’t speak out. While this is very much a story about activism and resistance. About finding our own ability to speak up and seeing the necessity. It’s also about love, second chances, and family.
