Book Review 



I had no idea that a graphic novel could convey all of the emotional clarity that this one does and I'm still having problems gathering my thoughts about it because it was just so good 

this is an exciting graphic novel and it is told and two strands 

we began with Ty and the maternity hospital giving birth to her first child and this is very to see that this graphic novel is capable of being everything at once

because she is about to be a mother for the first time she is about to be the mother of a third-generation American immigrant 

she is very aware of her past but she's also very disappointed and American values at the same time she doesn't really feel that she owns her identity as a Vietnamese woman 

on top of all of that her mother and her father are separated the 11 to different places although they see each other very often 

she is wondering about her marriage and how that is going to withstand all of these changes and in order for ty to understand them 

to put them to bed and time for her to not pass on those faults to her son she investigates her parent's past and that's where the second strand of this graphic novel comes 

in what I found really interesting about this was the idea of making and remaking her life was the idea that nothing is fixed and everything is fluid and that includes your identity 

I was able to look at her father with an American eye and yet when she did research into why he was so cold and why he was so undemonstrative 

she suddenly realized that perhaps her Vietnamese values had been more at the forefront for her than she realized it's very interesting to me 

that she feels rejected as a daughter and yet when she looked and to her father's past in Vietnam she found that he felt rejected as a Vietnamese man he felt as if he had been excommunicated to America 

as if he had no choice but to leave and as if an America his values were second-best and so he was never able to bring her up and either strand off his life properly 

he just kind of left her to swim through on her own and it's also interesting to me and that this graphic novel doesn't really draw any big conclusions for you it leaves you to think 

exactly what you want to think about the information that's presented but I think that tie buoy and having a son of her own she realizes that 

does it really matter American society says that when you have children you raise parts of yourself for them Vietnamese society says that 

when you have a child you should become their everything and that they should respect you and take care of you and your old age 

she doesn't really agree with either of these philosophies so does it really matter can she make her own force we can she take her own values from either culture 

make herself a third other or is that making herself even more of another and giving her even less of an opportunity to be part of anything my mind was blown by this graphic novel 

I just I cannot believe that she was able to pack so much and to such a short space it's not the shortest me and where I've read but is 

so concise and can we just take a minute to look at the beautiful art of this graphic novel because there is not a single panel and it doesn't have 

this kind of clarity and it's really interesting and that the color palettes I think really represent the two cultures and that we have 

these blues and whites and pure tones of America and yet we have these rusty gold and reds and orange colors of Vietnam following them through 

I just it was so clever if you read a single graphic miyamura this year make it best one this is a little bit of an early review because of diverse authority could do is out on the 7th of March by Abrams 

I really think it's worth pre-ordering I really really do I I would stand and I'm very very very very lonely together saying copy of this 

it's totally going on my treasured read shelf just immediately so that was what I thought of the best we could do bite ivory I will be back to you guys very shortly with my diverse a thorn wrap up 

I hope that you found at least one gem that was a special to you as the best we could do it was to me and if you did please tell me about it in the 

because I am dying to jump in is some more diverse books that have the heart that this one does be guys bye 
 






 THANK YOU SO MUCH
