What is the author's style in Bone by Fae Myenne Ng?

The language of this novel is modern, but also mixes the English language with the Chinese dialect of the words the family uses. The language is informal and appears to be set in modern times, such as the ‘80s or ‘90s. The language is educated, strong and descriptive enough so it creates a flow, leaving the reader impressed with the words as much as the plot when the novel ends.
