In 1969, two sisters, Trang and Quỳnh, leave their rural village to work as "bar girls" in Sài Gòn, engaging with American GIs for financial support as their family faces debts. Amid the encroaching war, Trang finds herself in a compelling romance with a young American helicopter pilot named Dan. Decades later, Dan returns to Việt Nam with his wife, Linda, seeking to heal from his PTSD and confront his hidden past.
Simultaneously, Phong, the son of a Black American soldier and a Vietnamese woman, embarks on a quest to locate his parents and escape Việt Nam. Labeled as "the dust of life" and "child of the enemy," Phong yearns for a better future for his family in the U.S.
The story interweaves the past and present as these characters come together to confront the choices they made during the war. It forces them to delve deep within themselves, bridging differences in race, generation, culture, and language. Dust Child is a suspenseful, poetic tale that explores how those burdened by tragedy can reshape their destinies through love, wisdom, compassion, courage, and joy. It's a perfect read for those who enjoyed books like Min Jin Lee's "Pachinko" or Yaa Gyasi's "Homegoing."
