A review by evamadera1
A Two-Placed Heart by Doan Phuong Nguyen
(I do not rate memoirs.)
This book tells the story of a young girl who moved with her family from Vietnam in the years after its tragic civil war using two timelines. In the "present," she, as a 12 year old, starts to write her memories of Vietnam, their move, and their first years in the US when she realizes that her younger sister remembers very little of their time in Vietnam. The other timeline is that story. Both timelines tell the story of the author herself. I will always recommend memoirs, especially ones that give voice to people who have often not been listened to.
