A review by bookedupandbusy
Dust Child by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai

4.0

I didn’t connect with the characters on this one, but I did enjoy the storyline. The story is reminiscent of the theatre show, Miss Saigon. It is a deep and powerful story with everyone searching for a sense of belonging.

It is a great insight into what really happened with American Soldiers and Bar girls and I learnt a lot about the Amerasian community and dust children.

Even though the ending tied up a little too neatly for me, the story is educating, true to life and very readable.
