A review by sarahboudereads
Pour l'amour du pho by Loan Le

4.0

This book willl always have a special place in my heart. I am also the daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, but I'm from the second generation. I never really grew up with the language and the stories of the past have been long forgotten for some - too difficult to tell, maybe. The only thing I got from my heritage was the food. I didn't know the dishes' names but boy, did I get to eat them for every occasion. So thank you Loan Le, thank you for making me closer to this part of myself.
I read A Pho Love Story in its French translation, to honour my grandparents who came to France in the fifties.

For them, who left a part of themselves in Vietnam when they had to leave, to try to discover who they were in France.
