After reading ๐๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฎ๐ป ๐ ๐ผ๐ผ๐ป, I was excited to read another book from this author.
Here, she crafts an intricately layered story about two estranged sisters who reunite over a sketch and a letter found among their late fatherโs belongings. The sketch could be an exact copy of a Vietnamese Surrealist painterโs work titled ๐๐ญ๐ถ๐ฆ ๐๐ช๐ณ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ณ.
From the Wisconsin Woods to the French countryside and their ancestral home in Vietnam, the sisters set out to find answers about the art, the artist, and the โofferingโ mentioned in the letter.
Thai weaves elements of art and art history in to add depth and insight. But what truly captivated me was the sisters’ relationship. They had such polar personalities, and their contrasting view of their childhood made me reflect on my own siblings and how we see our past differently.
Beautifully written, this is a reflective look at how the past is always etched into our souls.
๐ง I enjoyed reading in tandem with the audiobook gifted by @harperaudio. Quyen Ngoโs narration brought out the story’s richness by highlighting the sisters’ differences and amplifying the emotions.
Thank you @marinerbooks and @williammorrowbooks for this gifted book.
