Ocean Vuong
** Sunday Times Bestseller **
Brilliant, heartbreaking and highly original, Ocean Vuong's debut novel is a
shattering portrait of a family, and a testament to the redemptive power of
storytelling.
'A marvel' Marlon James
This is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the
speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's
history that began before he was born. It tells of Vietnam, of the lasting
impact of war, and of his family's struggle to forge a new future. And it
serves as a doorway into parts of Little Dog's life his mother has never known
- episodes of bewilderment, fear and passion - all the while moving closer to
an unforgettable revelation.
'A masterpiece' Max Porter
