THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER AND TIKTOK SENSATION

''A marvel'' Marlon James


Brilliant, heart-breaking and highly original, discover Ocean Vuong''s shattering coming of age novel.

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.
''Reminded me that every word can be an incantation, and that beauty does hard and important work'' Rebecca Solnit
