Winner of an American Book Award Named one of the Best Books of the
Year by Library Journal A novel about two Vietnamese-American
sisters, longtime rivals, growing closer as they "grapplewith their
upbringing, their present circumstances and their shortcomings"
(Kirkus Reviews) Called "A writer to watch, a tremendous talent" by
the Chicago Tribune, Bich Minh Nguyen makes her fiction debut with
the deeply moving and entertaining story of two Vietnamese sisters.
Aside from their petite stature, Van and Linny Luong couldn't be
more different. Diligent, unassuming Van works as an immigration
lawyer in the Michigan suburbs where she resides with her handsome,
Chinese-American lawyer husband. Beautiful, fashionable Linny lives
in Chicago and has drifted into an affair with a married man. When
Van's picture-perfect marriage collapses and Linny finds herself
grappling to escape her dead-end life, the long-estranged sisters
are unable to confide in one another- until their eccentric
inventor father calls them back home to the Vietnamese American
community they fled long ago.
