An ex-boxer turned nail salon worker falls for a pair of immaculate hands; a
mother and daughter harvest earthworms in the middle of the night; a country
music-obsessed housewife abandons her family for fantasy; and a young girl's
love for her father transcends language.
In this stunning debut, Souvankham Thammavongsa captures the day-to-day lives of
immigrants and refugees in a nameless city, illuminating hopes, disappointments,
love affairs, and above all, the pursuit of a place to belong.
'There is not a moment off in these affecting stories' Sheila Heti "
