Ru: A Novel
2 journalers for this copy...
Found this book at BookLeggers, a pop up library in Miami.
The protagonist escapes Vietnam with her family as a young girl, and starts a new life in Quebec. The chapters jump back and forth, her privileged life in Vietnam, her current life as mother, her hardship in refugee camp. It's beautifully written.

Released at Hong Kong BookCrossing Meetup at the bistro in Holiday Inn Hotel. Great to see all the BCers there!!
Found at meetup Sunday afternoon - extremely cute label.
Poetic and evocative... but in the end somehow unsatisfying because it lacks depth.
