具体描述
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.

##越南移民家族史 个人与家庭 母女关系 纽带/在kindle上看的 一直以为就是黑白的????而且字特小贴着屏幕看完的????Kindle什么时候能调整绘本大小啊
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
评分##“afraid of my father,craving safety and comfort.i had no idea that the terror i felt was only the long shadow of his own.” “writing about my mother is harder for me—maybe because my image of her is too tied up with my opinion of myself.” “if i ever have a daughter,i’ll tell her to finish school and get a career before ever thinking about boys!”
评分##一开始因为时间线乱跳觉得有点乱，之后重大历史事件作用于个人及家庭命运时就有沉重的感受了：二战、土地改革、越南战争、北越政权建立等等，其实事件都是熟悉的，苦难也是早有预料的，只是位置不同感受更加复杂。另外越南与朝鲜半岛有某种类似的轨迹，更加觉得人的相同而非不同。
评分第一次被非母语的作品深深打动。一部越南移民的血泪史，事关救赎与存亡的家族史，女性的个人回忆录。让人不停心碎，又不断治愈着人心。武汉大学出版社鹿书计划于今年出版，我一定要译好它。
评分##当时因为是比尔盖茨推荐书单，就去图书馆借来看了。漫画，读的很快。我没有那么特别喜欢，更喜欢同体裁的柬埔寨裔美籍的那个女作家的回忆录和华裔的那本the joy luck club
