Wandering Souls is a book I’ve been searching for a very long time as a second generation immigrant whose parents made the same journey as Anh and her brothers. A short book that encapsulates trauma, resilience and sacrifice with tender love and care. I absolutely adore this book, it’s so smart in its writing structure and narratives. It will forever hold a special place in my heart. A must read for anyone who is interested in learning more about Vietnamese British diaspora.

challenging dark emotional hopeful reflective sad medium-paced

This book is under 250 pages. The story is a beautiful and sweeping portrait of siblings, memory, and community amidst the trying time of being a refugee and assimilation.
