Description
Longlisted for 2021 Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Fiction. Yoon’s novel tells the history of Laos’s Civil War. The novel follows three orphans in Laos during the Laotian Civil War and traces the trajectories of their lives after they are separated. It does so through six chapters, each from a different character’s perspective and setting. The novel reads like William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying that is set in Cold War Laos.
