Through everything runs her passion for Thuy, the father of her son, a writer who lives in Saigon's Chinatown, and who, with the shadow of the China-Vietnam border war falling darkly between them, she has not seen for eleven years. Through her breathless, vertiginous, and deeply moving monologue from beside the subway tracks-interspersed with extracts from Thuy's own novel-the narrator attempts to once and for all face the past and exorcise the passion that haunts her"-- Provided by publisher
