Best book I’ve read in a while and it will definitely stay with me. 

Set across two timelines in Vietnam, it follows a family pre and post the Vietnam War. This book is highly informative, navigating the historical landscape, through the lens of a girl and her grandmother. 

Absolutely loved this book and would highly recommend. Excellent writing!
