A runaway bestseller in Quebec, with foreign rights sold to 15 countries around the world, Kim Thúy's award-winning Ru is a lullaby for Vietnam, as well as a love letter to a new homeland.

Moving seamlessly from past to present, from history to memory and back again, Ru is a book that celebrates life in all its wonder: its moments of beauty and sensuality, brutality and sorrow, comfort and comedy.

"Unflinching in content and strikingly unique in form . . . Ru is a poetic and highly individual exploration of what it can mean to straddle multiple cultures and identities simultaneously." -- National Post
