Media reviews

#1 BESTSELLER (Quebec)
 
“Love is ever-present in Mãn, in all of its guises.”
—Le Devoir
 
“With Mãn, her second novel, Kim Thúy shows she’s no one-book wonder. After the immense success of Ru, a book inspired by her own life, she shows that she’s equally capable of telling the stories of others: their exiles, their families, their passions, their sacrifices.”
—La Presse
 
“Sentence by sentence, Kim Thúy allows us to discover Vietnam through its history, its vocabulary, its food and its customs…. In addition to bringing us the happy and tragic destinies of immigrants, Mãn also proves that Kim Thúy is the greatest of romantics.”
—The Huffington Post Québec
