When Clouds Touch Us by Thanhhà Lại
5.0
So touching. A perfect sequel to an already moving narrative. The thoughts and emotions that Hà expresses as she endures yet another move and the jarring discomfort of being labeled as different in middle school… My heart breaks and heals and breaks and heals. As our hearts so often did in those fragile middle school years.
The style in which Thannhà Lai framed this story (matching that of its predecessor) is so beautiful. The way the poetry resembles the musical nature of Vietnamese is stunning. And the way we watch as Hà begins to think in English is so enlightening.
This book is so thoughtful and fills me with so much compassion. I can’t wait for this book to get published so I can add it to my shelves. Thank you to the author, HarperCollins, and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
