Just incredible; Vuong tells this story with such tender care for all involved, and the language is of course stunningly beautiful while also being absolutely wrenching and at times deeply painful. This is one of those books I can't review properly, but just insist you read (and read his poetry too!) There are so many parts of this book I want to tuck away into my chest and just hold for a while. So go out and read it, please, thank you.
