The Latehomecomer: A Hmong Family Memoir by Kao Kalia Yang

adventurous challenging dark hopeful reflective sad slow-paced

4.25

family memoir, starting with her parents in laos, their journey to vietnam refugee camps, her birth and early childhood in the camps, their migration to Minnesota, life in Minnesota, culminating with the death of her grandmother. beautiful prose, beautifully told. audiobook reading is full of raw emotion. heavy, moving, full of love. honestly it is embarrassing how little i knew about hmong history, growing up around a big hmong community. this book does an excellent job of telling that history, from the perspective of this family.
