Things We Lost to the Water by Eric Nguyen

  • Strong character development? Yes

A wonderful family narrative which follows a Vietnamese family over decades. Reminds me quite a bit of On Earth we are Briefly Gorgeous, only far less bleak. The fact that it follows a whole cast of characters instead of a single character also helps a lot. Loved the character development, and how it tackles such a wide range of issues.
