Dust Child by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai
4.0
When wars & military invasions are written about in history books, the information that is given significance is who won & who lost the war. There is very little if any documentation on the emotional trauma that such wars have on the people existing in these places. This book gives names & faces to the 'collateral damage' that the Vietnam war left in its trail as we see the characters grappling with the decisions that they made or were made that continue to impact their lives.
A story of abandonment, trauma, love, grief, forgiveness & redemption & one that is much needed especially now in the current time that we find ourselves in.
