"With a poet's gift for language and a psychologist's eye for the tender, error-prone hearts of mankind, Nguy?n Phan Qu? Mai weaves a web of impossible choices, inescapable circumstance, and searing loss, set to the backdrop of a war that changed everything . . . A heartbreaking, beautifully told, utterly unique story of love, loss, and longing that speaks to the very heart of the human experience."-- Kristin Harmel, New York Times bestselling author of The Forest of Vanishing Stars, "Once again, Nguy?n Phan Qu? Mai has written a beautiful novel that shines a light on the history of Vietnam. With a poet's grace, she writes of the legacy of war across time and place and the stories that bind us. Dust Child is simply stunning."-- Eric Nguyen, author of Things We Lost To The Water, "Dazzling. Sharply drawn and hauntingly beautiful."-- Elif Shafak, author of The Island of Missing Trees, "The sons and daughters of American soldiers and their Vietnamese girlfriends who exhibited African American and European features were shunned by Vietnam's monoethnic society during and after the war. Nguy?n Phan Qu? Mai writes of some of these "dust children" with complexity and heart. This is a powerful and moving story, brilliantly told." -- Robert Mason, New York Times bestselling author of Chickenhawk, "Nguyn Phan Qu Mai will win many more readers with her powerful and deeply empathetic second novel. From the horrors of war and its enduring afterlife for men and women, lovers and children, soldiers and civilians, she weaves a heartbreaking tale of lost ideals, human devotion, and hard-won redemption.

Look for a reception akin to Min Jin Lee's bestselling Pachinko ."-- Los Angeles Times, "Spanning the arc of the Vietnam War and its lingering traumas, Dust Child brings together an unforgettable cast of characters... [and] deftly explores the ways we both inherit trauma and redefine our own paths forward."-- Chicago Review of Books, "In her riveting successor to The Mountains Sing , Nguy?n Phan Qu?

Synopsis
Finalist for the 2024 Dayton Literary Peace Prize. From the bestselling author of The Mountains Sing , a richly poetic and suspenseful saga about two Vietnamese sisters, an American veteran, and an Amerasian man whose lives intersect in surprising ways, set during and after the war in Vit Nam. "Powerful and deeply empathetic. A heartbreaking tale of lost ideals, human devotion, and hard-won redemption. Dust Child establishes Nguyn Phan Qu Mai as one of our finest observers of the devastating consequences of war, and proves, once more, her ability to captivate readers and lure them into Viet Nam's rich and poignant history."Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer and The Committed In 1969, sisters Trang and Qunh, desperate to help their parents pay off debts, leave their rural village to work at a bar in Sài Gòn. Once in the big city, the young girls are thrown headfirst into a world they were not expecting. They learn how to speak English, how to dress seductively, and how to drink and flirt (and more) with American GIs in return for money. As the war moves closer to the city, the once-innocent Trang gets swept up in an irresistible romance with a handsome and kind American helicopter pilot she meets at the bar. Decades later, an American veteran, Dan, returns to Vit Nam with his wife, Linda, in search of a way to heal from his PTSD; instead, secrets he thought he had buried surface and threaten his marriage. At the same time, Phong--the adult son of a Black American soldier and a Vietnamese woman--embarks on a mission to find both his parents and a way out of Vit Nam. Abandoned in front of an orphanage, Phong grew up being called "the dust of life," "Black American imperialist," and "child of the enemy," and he dreams of a better life in the United States for himself, his wife Bình, and his children. Past and present converge as these characters come together to confront decisions made during a time of war--decisions that reverberate throughout one another's lives and ultimately allow them to find common ground across race, generation, culture, and language. Immersive, moving, and lyrical, Dust Child tells an unforgettable story of how those who inherited tragedy can redefine their destinies with hard-won wisdom, compassion, courage, and joy., From the internationally bestselling author of The Mountains Sing , a propulsive and moving tale of wartime love, family, and loss, as an American GI, two Vietnamese bargirls, and an Amerasian man are forced to make decisions during and after the Vit Nam War that will reverberate throughout each other's lives.
