Özet

Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2022

Two young Vietnamese women go missing decades apart. Both are fearless; both are lost. And both will have their revenge.

1986: The teenage daughter of a wealthy Vietnamese family gets lost in an abandoned rubber plantation while fleeing her angry father and is forever changed by the experience.

2011: Twenty-five years later, a young, unhappy Vietnamese American disappears from her new home in Saigon without a trace.

The fates of both women are inescapably linked, bound together by past generations, by ghosts and ancestors, by the history of possessed bodies and possessed lands. Violet Kupersmith's heart-pounding fever dream of a novel hurtles through the ghostly secrets of Vietnamese history to create an immersive, playful, utterly unforgettable debut.

Based on SE Asian myths, this novel is cleverly woven and often beautifully told. The writer lives in Vietnam in 2013-15 . I lived there for 4 years too. it was pleasure to hear many of the descriptions. A few details were frustrating - they kept eating lychees, a fruit I rarely saw - but theae were minor issues. The performance was good, byt occasionally stress missed the meaning.

Original and well told
