5 stars

Being far away from home, trying to find shelter, to find the refuge that I was thinking before leaving the airport. Here, I found it. In the stories of the Refugees and their lives. Through the eyes of Viet Thanh Nguyen, shaping the world the way in a way that makes you question the prejudices one might hold against a certain individual, before being in his shoes.
highly recommed it.
