Dust Child by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai

dark emotional sad slow-paced

4.0

A sweeping tale of splintered families in war-torn Vietnam. Told from multiple POV and over several timelines, Dust Child is a compelling historical fiction with family at its heart. 

It’s emotional, harrowing, and shines a spotlight on the plight of the Vietnamese during the war. Particularly the Amerasians after the war had ended. 

Fans of The Women by Kristin Hannah should check this out.
