Vi is an only child in a unique Vietnamese family while her bread-winning mother comes from a humble background, her father is wealthy, spoiled, and never had to grow up. The Vietnam War disturbs the family's balance, and she is forced to flee to Canada. This novel about refugees and immigrants is also a study of love and the mystery of existence anywhere on earth. Vi es la ???nica hija de una familia vietnamita muy singular: una madre trabajadora, de extracci???n humilde, y un padre rico y mimado que nunca tuvo que crecer. La Guerra de Vietnam destruir??? el equilibrio familiar conseguido por la madre, un personaje ???de otro tiempo???. Vi, junto a ella y sus hermanos, huir??? a Canad???, tras pasar por un campo de refugiados; su padre no tendr??? la misma suerte... Hay novelas que suelen ser llamadas ???perfectas??? en cuanto parecen mecanismos de relojer???a suiza; en otras, sin embargo, la vida se cuela por todas partes y la realidad, que es imperfecta, se impone sobre el artificio. Verdad y verosimilitud se confunden entonces. ???sta es una novela sobre la vida de una mujer joven que naci??? en un antiqu???simo Vietnam, en rotunda transformaci???n, y que creci??? en un Occidente de emigrantes atados a tab???es y contradicciones sin fin. Es una novela sobre refugiados y emigrantes, pero tambi???n sobre el amor y el misterio de la existencia en cualquier lugar de la Tierra. Flores y lecturas, comidas y viajes, adem???s de ternura y nostalgia, van conformando la idiosincrasia de Vi, que recorre nuestro extenso mundo como si en realidad fuera diminuto, tanto como indica su propio nombre: Vi, que en vietnamita significa literalmente ???preciosa min???scula microsc???pica???.
