The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui

4.0

This book is a years-long project by the author that has been revised and transformed from a more scholarly work about her family history. You can feel it... the story is stripped of what I am sure were many more details to tell a story that includes her speculations about how the lives of her parents and older siblings resonate in their current-day adult-to-adult interactions. I'd love to read an update in the future: the author is a new parent at the end of the story, wondering how her experience will shape her parenting.
