About this product

Product Information

The Sunday Times bestselling debut novel from the prize-winning prodigy ** Sunday Times Bestseller ** Brilliant, heartbreaking and highly original, Ocean Vuong's debut novel is a shattering portrait of a family, and a testament to the redemptive power of storytelling. 'A marvel' Marlon James This is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born. It tells of Vietnam, of the lasting impact of war, and of his family's struggle to forge a new future. And it serves as a doorway into parts of Little Dog's life his mother has never known - episodes of bewilderment, fear and passion - all the while moving closer to an unforgettable revelation. 'A masterpiece' Max Porter 'Luminous, shattering, urgent, necessary' Celeste Ng

    Upsetting content

    Had to give up reading this book as some of the content made me feel sick. The scene described with the macaque was very upsetting..
