"We lose each other, or the way we know each other gets lost. "
Each and every single story shattered something in me the only flaw of this book is that it is not longer.
I love how it explored family dynamics, relationships social hierarchy and Lao immigrant experience in a western country. How it's like to leave your country that you loved so much, where you were something great, where you felt like you belonged and have that taken from you because of war. All of this explored in such a subtle way of recounting the mundane uneventful but difficult life.
