En otroligt tunn bok som tog sjukt lång tid att läsa! Trots dess korta kapitel, på en halv till en sida, tog de lång tid att läsa. Allt berör, vart enda ord. Boken är så himla fin, beskriver en flickas, en familj, en släkts och ett lands påverkan och flykt från kriget i Vietnamn. Jag vill suga i mig vart enda ord som verkar vara noga utvalt. Inga ord är överflödiga. Därför att det en viss sorg när boken bleknar snabbare än snabbast i mitt minne. Så kontentan blir en fin och berörande bok som lever kvar för stunden.

En fantastisk liten bok om en vietnamesisk båtflykting som så småningom får ett hem i Kanada tillsammans med sin familj.

Not my cup of tea - I don’t like fragmented storylines - but it was interestingly written in terms of how sections ended and began.

Ce livre attise mon intérêt depuis des années, tellement que je ne pourrais pas en dire combien exactement. Mais ce qui a enfin permis de me pousser à le lire, c’est bien le fait que son adaptation au cinéma sortira en novembre cette année. Ainsi, pour m’y préparer adéquatement… le moment était venu pour moi d’en faire la lecture et je ne suis que plus hypée pour le film !
