An intimate and poignant graphic novel portraying one family’s journey from war-torn Vietnam from debut author Thi Bui.
This beautifully illustrated and emotional story is an evocative memoir about the search for a better future and a longing for the past. Exploring the anguish of immigration and the lasting effects that displacement has on a child and her family, Bui documents the story of her family’s daring escape after the fall of South Vietnam in the 1970s, and the difficulties they faced building new lives for themselves.
At the heart of Bui’s story is a universal struggle: While adjusting to life as a first-time mother, she ultimately discovers what it means to be a parent—the endless sacrifices, the unnoticed gestures, and the depths of unspoken love. Despite how impossible it seems to take on the simultaneous roles of both parent and child, Bui pushes through. With haunting, poetic writing and breathtaking art, she examines the strength of family, the importance of identity, and the meaning of home.
In what Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist Viet Thanh Nguyen calls “a book to break your heart and heal it,” The Best We Could Do brings to life Thi Bui’s journey of understanding, and provides inspiration to all of those who search for a better future while longing for a simpler past.

评分##This book bears an important subject matter and has very beautiful illustrations chronicling the author's family during the turbulent years of the Vietnam War as well as the sacrifices they have made in order to start a new life in another country. However, the problem of this book for me lays with the format, which is limiting and confusing.
评分##不是二代移民典型的身份认同作品。首一整章写新生,messy而艰难。中间大部分是父母在越南的家国历史。在越南蝼蚁求生,至出走美国,隐约并置的是一条“重生”产道。末章落脚于生老病死,点题的“尽力而为”(存活),是为父母的信条,亦是“幸存者”移民二代真正的文化遗产,刻在血肉里的处世之道
评分##因为同样属于亚洲文化,读完以后我看到了很多我们国家历史的影子,以及我家庭经历的很多故事,都有共通的时代背景和文化传统,作为我们这代人最大的幸福,就是再也不会遇到战争了~

评分##原谅原生家庭的漫长过程 耐心,再耐心一点。他们到美国来的梦和期望 并不需要你去承担 原谅他们的单纯妄想 才是原谅自己
