Aprašymas
In 1978, six Vietnamese refugees - a girl, her father and four 'uncles' - were pulled from the sea to begin a new life in California. In this strange place, the little girl's matter-of-fact innocence masks the traumas that haunt her: the cataclysm that engulfed her homeland; the memory of her brother who drowned; and, most inescapable, her father's hopeless rage. The gangster we are all looking for is a momentous debut, revealing great beauty and enormous sorrows, and the struggle to find a place - and a voice - in a new world.
