<p><b>THE </b><b>MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER AND TIKTOK SENSATION</b><br><br><b>'A marvel' Marlon James<br><br>Discover Ocean Vuong's lyrical and intimate coming-of-age novel.</b><br><br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br><b>'Reminded me that every word can be an incantation, and that beauty does hard and important work' Rebecca Solnit<br><br>'A tender exploration of violence, migration and language' <i>Guardian</i></b></p>
