Although it was a heartbreaking read, I loved this novel about an older sister investigating her teen brother’s murder in a Vietnamese-Australian community. The narration is from various witnesses’ perspectives including an adorable ten year-old, a high school teacher, and a wedding singer, but keeps it returning to the sister’s perspective. The story offers a lot of depth and thoughtfulness on subjects including intergenerational trauma, parent-child relationships, and adolescent friendships. I found a lot of it relatable and also learned a lot about a community that isn’t my own. Highly recommended, especially for readers of Celeste Ng, Liz Moore and Angie Kim.
