A review by ninajean
The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui

The memoir was an illustrated account of a Vietnamese family fleeing the aftermath of the Vietnam War to a new life in America. It was interesting to see how the author was taking the time to understand their generational family trauma. The way she was also able to reckon with her childhood by further examining her parent’s own childhoods. This graphic novel was exceptional and so emotionally introspective.
