Synopsis
"Heartbreaking tales of ordinary people lost between the extraordinary circumstances of history. Bitter and beautiful all at once."-- Sandra Cisneros "We call it naturalization, but these bright, authentic, well-made stories both personalize and illuminate just how unnatural the first twenty years in America felt for thousands of Vietnamese families who fled to San Francisco to escape the Vietnam War. Angie Chau writes with humor, intensity and forgiveness about lives full of danger, insult, momentary reprieve, unending tenacity and undying hope."-- Pam Houston " Quiet As They Come is a beautifully rendered, intimate, and dramatic story of family and country. Each character is drawn with such honesty and generosity, such insight and imagination. Angie Chau has impressed and enthralled me and I was very sorry to come to the last page."-- Karen Joy Fowler " Quiet As They Come announces the arrival of an astonishing literary talent with a great deal to say about the intricacies of family life, coming of age, emigration, and--above and--above all--the treasures buried in the human heart."-- Carolina De Robertis , author of The Invisible Mountain Quiet As They Come is a beautiful and at times brutal portrait of a people caught between two cultures. Set in San Francisco from the 1980s to the present day, this debut collection explores the lives of several families of Vietnamese immigrants as they struggle to adjust to life in their new country, often haunted by the memories and customs of their old lives in Vietnam. While some are able to survive and assimilate, others are crushed by the promise of the "American Dream." No matter their fate, you will never be able to forget the people you meet in this remarkable collection., A beautiful, and at times brutal, portrait of a people caught between cultures. Set in San Francisco from the 1980s to the present day, this debut collection explores the lives of families of Vietnamese immigrants as they struggle to adjust to life in their new country, often haunted by memories and customs of their old lives in Vietnam. While some are able to survive and assimilate, others are crushed by the promise of the American dream., A mesmerizing portrait of first generation Vietnamese immigrants struggling to create a life for themselves and their children in America.
