The novel, adapted from Tuyền's play which premiered at London's Park Theatre in 2019, is a multigenerational story set between the UK and Vietnam, exploring family, identity, love and memory through the lives and relationship of Vietnamese immigrant Trinh and her British-raised daughter Mai. The Nguyen family are nursing deep wounds and secrets. Having escaped war-torn Vietnam, their individual journeys and memories have left scars the youngest daughter Mai was too young to know. As the family gradually integrates into their new life in Britain, these wounds and secrets slowly make their way to the surface. Embracing her family's silence, Mai turns to photography, and finds herself a chronicler of her community's experiences and an essential catalyst to her family's healing.--.
