After the last American troops leave Vietnam, brothers Min and Thanh and their sister An go to Hong Kong, promising that they will soon be back with their parents and younger siblings. But a tragedy occurs-and three children are orphaned. Sixteen-year-old An must take responsibility for her younger brothers overnight. In the following years, An and his brothers immigrate to the UK: living in overcrowded camps and resettlement centers, and later in London, where social inequality Reigns. An works in a factory to pay the bills. Min wanders the streets with his classmates who have left school. And the youngest Thanh plays soccer with his friends after school. As they grow up, siblings learn what it's like to live with guilt because they survived. Each choice separates them from each other until there is only one thing that can unite them — love. Prodigal Souls is a lyrical narrative based on historical sources that brings back the voices of the lost and lost. Cecile pin debuts with the novel prodigal Souls, which combines personal and collective experience. The author, the daughter of Vietnamese refugees, creates a multi-layered narrative where the fates of exiles from Vietnam are intertwined in a difficult but important story about memory, loss and the struggle for a place in the world. The events unfold around three children who are forced to leave their native home and go on a long journey passing through refugee camps and foreign countries. Their journey is not only a physical challenge, but also a path to awareness of their own responsibility, pain, and hope. The past does not let go: among the characters there is the voice of a brother who died on the road and now appears as a quiet presence watching the living. This story is also joined by a writer who tries to organize disparate memories and find meaning in what he has experienced. The book contains topics that remain acute today: War and its consequences, forced migration, loss of the motherland, injuries passed on to the next generations. The author shows how difficult it is to accept a new country and at the same time not let go of your own, how survival is intertwined with the desire to remain yourself. This is a low-key but heartfelt story that raises questions about memory and duty to those who are no longer around. The book "Prodigal souls" by Cecil pin was published by the Ukrainian publishing house "#knigolav". You can buy it in the network "Knigarnya "E".
