Emma-Jade and Louis are born into the havoc of the Vietnam War. Orphaned, saved and cared for by adults coping with the chaos of Saigon in free-fall, they become children of the Vietnamese diaspora. Em is not a romance in any usual sense of the word, but it is a word whose homonym—aimer, to love—resonates in every minute, a book powered by love in the larger sense. A portrait of Vietnamese identity emerges that is wholly remarkable, honed in wartime violence that borders on genocide, and then by the ingenuity, sheer grit, and intelligence of Vietnamese people.

Emotional look at Vietnamese history
Revisado: 02-03-24
This is centered on the lives of Vietnamese people during and after the Vietnam war. I found it so interesting and learned so much, and in such an emotional way. The writing feels almost poetic and is so beautiful. And I absolutely loved how all the different viewpoints come together in the end. Highly recommend this one.
