Ann Tran has worked hard to build a seemingly perfect life—a beautiful house, a successful boyfriend, and a comfortable lifestyle. But when she gets news of the passing of her grandmother, Minh, Ann returns to her childhood home and faces her estranged mother, Huơng. Upon learning that Minh left their childhood home to the mother-daughter duo, Huơng and Ann must work together to repair the crumbling old manor and their relationship.

BANYAN MOON is a stunning multigenerational and multi-POV novel. Shifting between Minh, Huơng, and Ann's perspectives, Thai expertly crafted a compelling story with distinct voices, allowing readers to deeply connect with their experiences and emotions. This masterful character development creates a rich tapestry that beautifully weaves together the lives of three generations of women.

A powerful exploration of the complexities of family, love, and sacrifice, BANYAN MOON delves into the depths of human emotions. It portrays both the joys and heartaches that come with motherhood. Thai's ability to delve into these universal themes with sensitivity and authenticity is a testament to her skill as a storyteller.

At its core, BANYAN MOON is a celebration of single mothers and the power of intergenerational love. Thai explores the uncertainties, joys, and challenges of motherhood through the lens of three women with different lived experiences. The strength, resilience, and courage displayed by Minh, Huơng, and Ann are both inspiring and relatable, and left me with a profound appreciation for the unbreakable bond between a mother and her child. BANYAN MOON is an ode to the intergenerational love that shapes us and the indomitable spirit that enables us to overcome life's challenges.
