4.5
It explores interconnected issues and dynamics so well all the while giving you an important piece of Vietnamese history. I think Trang and Phong were my favourite characters but I appreciated the other characters in this story as well.
The plight of Amerasians in Vietnam is a topic that I’ve only heard discussed a few times. What a perspective.
This is a heartbreaking but very hopeful story. 4.5 stars from me. Thank you to Oneworld for my proof copy.Â
