Ru. In Vietnamese it means lullaby; in French it is a small stream, but also indicates a movement - of tears, blood, money. Kim Thúy's Ru is books at its most crystalline: the movement of the life on the tides of unrest and to more peaceful waters. In vignettes of delightful clarity, sharp observation, and sly wit, we have been carried along on an unforgettable trip from a palatial property in Saigon to a crowded and muddy Malaysian refugee camp, and onward to a new life in Quebec. There, the young lady feels the embrace of a new community, and revels in the opportunity to be part of the American Goal. As an adult, the waters become rough again: now a mom of two sons, she must figure out how to shape her love around the younger boy's autism. Moving seamlessly from past to present, from record to storage area and again, Ru is a reserve that celebrates life in every its marvel: its occasions of beauty and sensuality, brutality and sorrow, comfort and funny.
