SynopsisSophea Lim is living the American dream as an aspiring executive producer at her local television station. But at the home she shares with her Cambodian mother and grandmother, her success is measured by how soon she can find a husband and how well she prepares a spring roll. While Sophea embraces her new life in America, her elders cling to memories of their old life in the Cambodian royal family. They continue to live in the shadow of the genocide that killed two million Cambodians, including their husbands. Turmoil erupts when younger sister Ravy encourages Sophea to move out of the house and forsake her cultural responsibility to take care of her elders. Will Sophea abandon the ones she loves most? Can her mother and grandmother find meaning and relevance in their new country? The Immigrant Princess is a poignant love story about three generations of spirited women learning to navigate a world that challenges their core values and traditions.
Great reading. I learned quite a bit about the Cambodian culture. I wanted to read the first chapter to whet my appetite and then take it on a road trip with me the following month. I got caught up and finished in 2 days!
