Called "A writer to watch, a tremendous talent" by the Chicago Tribune,
Bich Minh Nguyen makes her fiction debut with the deeply moving and
entertaining story of two Vietnamese sisters. Aside from their petite
stature, Van and Linny Luong couldn't be more different. Diligent,
unassuming Van works as an immigration lawyer in the Michigan suburbs
where she resides with her handsome, Chinese-American lawyer husband.
Beautiful, fashionable Linny lives in Chicago and has drifted into an
affair with a married man. When Van's picture-perfect marriage collapses
and Linny finds herself grappling to escape her dead-end life, the
long-estranged sisters are unable to confide in one another- until their
eccentric inventor father calls them back home to the Vietnamese
American community they fled long ago.
I LOOOOVE the photo on the paperback. I want those tights and that shoe! That's really all I have to say about that!
Have you spotted a Hardcover vs. Paperback you would like to contribute? Send me an email!
The hardcover is interesting if you take the time to study it. The paperback is much more appealing overall. I love the new look!
ReplyDeleteCool new format!!
ReplyDeleteI like the new look!
ReplyDeleteThe paperback looks like a creepy Dorothy of The Wizard of Oz. I like it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, loving the new look around the blog! :)
Great new format Alea! It makes the feature stand out and your graphic skills really pop!
ReplyDeleteThe paperback is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteNow you have to do a Lookalike between that pb and the cover for Cinder by Marissa Meyer. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love your new graphic format for this, but I worry you will soon be overwhelmed with creating them!! Don't burn out, Alea! I need you around on the internet!!
That being said, I don't think I like either. The pb is certainly eye-catching with its colours, but I HATE FEET. Gah!
LOVE that paperback.
