Wandering Souls
Cecile PinEric NguyenPin’s novel is less about the story and more about how the story is made. Reading it is like watching a writer at work as she tries to give loss a plot and make meaning out of details. This proves to be more fascinating than the story of ...siblings acclimating to their new home.
