Description
Monkey Bridge is a powerful and important novel that explores the Vietnamese American experience in the aftermath of war. The narrative navigates between worlds past and present, East and West, to tell two interlocking stories: one, a young girl's version of the classic immigrant experience in America, and another, a dark tale of betrayal, family secrets, and revenge.
Through its haunting and beautiful terrain, Monkey Bridge connects the realities of Vietnam and North America, as well as the material world and the world of spirits. This beautifully written novel has been praised for its incredible lightness, balance, and elegance in conveying the pain, loss, separation, and exile that define this experience.
