Sounds like a great story with the Vietnam theme. I have to admit that the title doesn't draw me in that much.
I absolutely adored this book. Such a great main character and I loved all the details about Vietnam and especially about what foods to eat (or not eat) so you don't get attacked by mosquitoes.
I am a huge fan of Inside Out and Back Again--it's one of those rare books I think everyone should read--so I'm happy to hear you found this one just as powerful. On looking back, I realize it's already on my TBR pile, but I'm bumping it up the stack. Thanks for recommending it, and happy MMGM!
Thanks! I am looking for some good multicultural stories. Bonus: The audiobook is available on Hoopla.
I did enjoy this story though in the early going I tired of Mai's, shall I say... whining. The final 20% of the book helped renew my liking for this MC. Thanks for your thoughts.
