Translation of: Em.
Through the linked destinies of a number of characters, the novel takes its inspiration from historical events, including Operation Babylift, which evacuated thousands of biracial orphans from Saigon in April 1975, and the impressive growth of the nail salon industry, dominated by Vietnamese expatriates all over the world. The author focuses on a wide range of topics from the rubber plantations of Indochina to the massacre at My Lai.
