 Thirteen-year-old Yen and her family live in rural Vietnam. A flood destroys their village. Famine and persecution because they are of Chinese ancestry lead the family to flee from their war-torn homeland after the fall of Saigon. They become boat people and are eventually rescued by the Malaysian Coast Guard. There is a glossary of Vietnamese words. The story is based on events from the author’s childhood. mjw |
