具體描述
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.

##越南移民傢族史 個人與傢庭 母女關係 紐帶/在kindle上看的 一直以為就是黑白的????而且字特小貼著屏幕看完的????Kindle什麼時候能調整繪本大小啊
評分##忽然體會到瞭多書寫，多記錄個人親曆的曆史的意義。隻有一個版本的曆史，想來也與謊言無差瞭。

評分第一次被非母語的作品深深打動。一部越南移民的血淚史，事關救贖與存亡的傢族史，女性的個人迴憶錄。讓人不停心碎，又不斷治愈著人心。武漢大學齣版社鹿書計劃於今年齣版，我一定要譯好它。
評分##忽然體會到瞭多書寫，多記錄個人親曆的曆史的意義。隻有一個版本的曆史，想來也與謊言無差瞭。
評分##補評，越南移民實錄，一部記述大時代下小人物的移民變遷史。與一般作品所展現的二代移民經歷culture shock以及自我身份認同的掙紮不同，Thi Bui更多側重於描繪父輩移民前在國內的故事以及社會變革。在經歷與親人的離別，革命與戰爭帶來的痛苦，以及後來到瞭馬來西亞的refugee camp再到後來的美國，用生動鮮活方式再現瞭當代移民的歷史碎片，不少場景令人印象深刻。
評分##2021.11.20 讀的時候好幾次都眼眶濕潤。本質上探討的是如何做孩子、做父母、如何麵對自己的生命和與他人的聯結這樣的問題。而越南曆史的部分讓人心碎，然而我們的曆史中又有那麼多相似的地方。
評分##當時因為是比爾蓋茨推薦書單，就去圖書館藉來看瞭。漫畫，讀的很快。我沒有那麼特彆喜歡，更喜歡同體裁的柬埔寨裔美籍的那個女作傢的迴憶錄和華裔的那本the joy luck club
評分##“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!”
