A gripping account of the refugee experience#8230The action never flags, and Yen's feistiness makes her an engaging and empathetic character., While certainly a suspenseful action story, A Grain of Rice is a sobering read, which gives insight into the...struggles of refugees past and present., The descriptive narrative [has] a strong sense of immediacy; the author's portrayal of the mother's dedication, generosity and persistence is spot on., Based on events from the author's childhood, this fictionalized narrative offers a gripping account if the refugee experience., Debut author Nhun Tran-Davies immerses the reader in this deeply moving fictionalized account of her family's escape from Vietnam following the fall of Saigon., "Tran-Davies does not shy away from the terrible realities of post-war Vietnam, including the poverty, corruption, and violence that affected its citizens. The events in this novel are based on history and will act as curriculum tie-in for middle school students. Yen is a well-written character, a strong young teen, struggling to understand the world around her. Ma speaks little, but much is learned by her actions. Much is included in this book including many secondary characters and the many political and social issues of the time. Highly Recommended." -- CM Magazine "A suspenseful action story. . . which gives insight into the events that still haunt Canada's Vietnamese population -- and the struggles of refugees past and present. -- Quill & Quire
