Valerie's pick is Ru, by Kim Thuy...This autobiographical first novel is the story of a young Vietnamese refugee who flees with her family to Canada when she was a child. Though told only in short vignettes, Thuy conveys a strong sense of time and place, with memorable characters and unsentimental emotional resonance. Lyrical, mesmerizing, unique.
