Dust Child

02 November 2023
Written by: Nguyễn Phan Quế Ma
Review by: Anneke Elsing
Genre: Historical Fiction,

A suspenseful and moving saga about family secrets, hidden trauma, and the overriding power of forgiveness, set during the war and in present-day Việtnam.

In 1969, sisters Trang and Quỳnh, desperate to help their parents pay off debts, leave their rural village and become “bar girls” in Sài Gòn, drinking, flirting (and more) with American GIs in return for money.
