Requests:  0 Summary:  "A boldly imagined debut novel about three Vietnamese siblings who seek refuge in the UK, expanding into a luminous meditation on ancestry and love. After the last American troops leave Vietnam, siblings Anh, Thanh, and Minh begin a perilous journey to Hong Kong with the promise that their parents and younger siblings will soon follow. But when tragedy strikes, the three children are left orphaned, and sixteen-year-old Anh becomes the caretaker for her two younger brothers overnight. In the years that follow, Anh and her brothers resettle in the UK and confront their new identities as refugees, first in overcrowded camps and resettlement centers and then, later, in a modernizing London plagued by social inequality and raging anti-immigrant sentiment. Anh works in a clothing factory to pay their bills. Minh loiters about with fellow unemployed high school dropouts. Thanh, the youngest, plays soccer with his British friends after class. As they mature, each sibling reckons with survivor's guilt, unmoored by their parents' absence. With every choice they make, their paths diverge further, until it's unclear if love alone can keep them together. Told through lyrical narrative threads, historical research, voices from lost family, and notes by an unnamed narrator determined to chart their fate, Wandering Souls captures the lives of a family marked by war and loss yet relentless in the pursuit of a better future. With urgency and precision, it affirms that the most important stories are those we claim for ourselves, establishing Cecile Pin as a masterful new literary voice"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Pin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Pin Checked out 06/13/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult New Books Pin Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Pin Transit   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Fiction Pin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Fiction Pin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction Pin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Fiction Pin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Fiction Pin Checked out 06/12/2024 Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction Pin Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
