The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui

5.0

A beautiful memoir conveyed through visual and language arts. It's intimate, and in some ways, relatable. The stories are powerful reproductions of the author's parents' time during the Vietnam war, as well as her struggle to find her identity within it all. The illustration tied the story together, giving the needed visuals in order to appreciate the novel fully. One of the best memoirs I've read.
