✦ Synopsis

This acclaimed novel reveals the life of a Vietnamese family in America through the knowing eyes of a child finding her place and voice in a new country.

In 1978 six refugees--a girl, her father, and four "uncles"--are pulled from the sea to begin a new life in San Diego. In the child's imagination, the world is transmuted into an unearthly realm: she sees everything intensely, hears the distress calls of inanimate objects, and waits for her mother to join her. But life loses none of its strangeness when the family is reunited. As the girl grows, her matter-of-fact innocence eddies increasingly around opaque and ghostly traumas: the cataclysm that engulfed her homeland, the memory of a brother who drowned and, most inescapable, her father's hopeless rage.

From the Trade Paperback edition.

It is frequently said that we have entered the post-genomic era and that the hegemony of the gene in biology is a thing of the past. One unexpected result of the unravelling of the human genome has been the downgrading of the gene as an explanatory category for organismic complexity. There is, indee
