Viac o knihe

** Sunday Times Bestseller ** Brilliant, heart-breaking and highly original, TikTok has fallen in love with Ocean Vuong's shattering portrait of a family. This is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born. It tells of Vietnam, of the lasting impact of war, and of his family's struggle to forge a new future. It serves as a doorway into parts of Little Dog's life his mother has never known - episodes of bewilderment, fear and passion - all the while moving closer to an unforgettable revelation. 'A marvel' Marlon James 'Luminous, shattering, urgent, necessary' Celeste Ng

Knížka má tempo asijských filmů a je hodně pocitová. Člověk s ní spíš stráví nějaký čas, pokud ji chce pořádně nasáknout. Rozhodně to není čtení na dva večery. Velmi mě bavily vietnamské reálie a téma opouštění vlastního národa.
