I read the French version, so I couldn't comment on the translation. Very short chapters, almost like haiku poems, but highly narrative and woven together; they tell the story of a family, the complicated story of a mother-daughter relationship, and the story of the Vietnamese upper bourgeoisie displaced by the Communists and the war. It's also a lovely tale of the warm welcoming reception the Canadians extended to the refugees, after their harrowing experiences in a Malaysian camp, as seen through the eyes of the ten-year old child the author was back then. A light touch, much humor and wisdom are brought to a dramatic tale of violence and loss.

A touching story

I liked this book however I would have liked it to be longer and giving us more details of her life in Vietnam. I'll guess I'll have to read a couple more of her stories.
The book is very good, but the format is so small that it's difficult to read.
