Résumé
A Wall Street Journal Bestseller An Amazon Bestseller for Memoir Publisher's Weekly BookLife Prize for Memoir "In dark times like these, the ability to find what binds us is vital. In Monkey Bridges and Bánh Mì Sandwiches, Oanh Ngo Usadi brings empathy and vivid storytelling to her young life as a Vietnamese girl fleeing the country with her family after the Vietnam War. At once an ode to the beauty of her home country and a harrowing depiction of the horrors of leaving it for an uncertain new life, Monkey Bridges is the sort of book we need right now, to remind us that for all our differences, we share love, fear, and the hope of redemption.
As Usadi and her family slowly adjust to their new lives in Texas, it becomes clear that theirs is a quintessentially American story."-- Julie Powell, author of best-selling memoir, Julie & Julia, later made into a movie In the aftermath of the Vietnam War, a young girl and her family were exiled from city living in Saigon to the countryside of Vietnam and ultimately escaped to a small town in Texas.
