Book Description:
Thi Bui’s best graphic novel is an intimate and moving depiction of one family’s flight from Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
This wonderfully drawn and passionate memoir is about the yearning for a better future and nostalgia. Bui tells the narrative of her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s and the obstacles they encountered establishing new lives. She examines the misery of migrating and the enduring impact of dislocation on a child and her family.
A universal conflict is central to Bui’s narrative: She ultimately realizes what it means to be a parent while adjusting to life as a first-time mother: the countless sacrifices, unseen gestures, and the depths of unsaid love. This persists despite the impossibility of assuming the responsibilities of both parent and kid simultaneously. She examines the strength of family, the significance of identity, and the meaning of home via haunting, beautiful language and breathtaking imagery.
The Pulitzer Prize–winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen describes The Best We Could Do as “a book to break your heart and heal it.” The Best We Could Do brings Thi Bui’s journey of understanding to life and inspires all those seeking a better future while yearning for a simpler past.
