Description
Emma-Jade and Louis are born into chaos. Orphaned and cared for by adults coping with the turmoil of Saigon in free-fall, they become part of the Vietnamese diaspora. This novel is a powerful exploration of love, identity, and resilience. Written in Kim Thúy's distinctive style, Em weaves together the interconnected lives of characters born into war-torn Vietnam. From the rubber plantations of Indochina to the daily struggles of life in Saigon, the novel reveals the ingenuity and grit of Vietnamese-Americans and other former refugees who have built successful businesses. Through its poetic prose, Em shares a story of hope and survival, one that is deeply personal to Kim Thúy. This is a book about connection, community, and the enduring power of love in the face of violence and trauma.
