Viac o knihe

The memoir explores the complex legacy of the author's grandmother, a captivating yet domineering figure in post-war Indochina. As her soldier husband retreats into a quieter life with their daughter, the family's dynamics shift dramatically, leaving lasting impacts. Rather than merely recounting grievances, Bronsard's narrative blends humor and affection, revealing family secrets and pain with a sense of catharsis. Through this exploration, she seeks to honor her grandmother's memory and bring her a sense of peace, all while embracing the irony of their shared history.
