4.5

I kept seeing this pop up in the bookshop and in the library, so I knew I had to give it a go. 

Flitting between narratives is brilliant when it is well-executed, and Cecile Pin absolutely nails it 👏🏼
I love that we got a little bit of Dao and a little bit of Jane too. I felt honoured to get a glimpse into Anh’s nuances through their narratives (Dao being her dead little brother, Jane being her daughter researching and writing Anh’s past.)


I was gripped throughout and thought Pin had cleverly and concisely expressed this story. I am looking forward to exploring her other writing. 4.5 out of 5 stars for me, thank you ✨
