Dust Child, by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai, Set in Vietnam

In 1969, sisters Trang and Quỳnh, desperate to help their parents pay off debts, leave their rural village and become “bar girls” in Sài Gòn, drinking, flirting (and more) with American GIs in return for money. As the war moves closer to the city, the once-innocent Trang gets swept up in an irresistible romance with a young and charming American helicopter pilot.

The Storied Life of AJ Fikry, by Gabrielle Zevin

If you love books and bookstores, you’ll love this story of second chances, voted #2 by our readers in our 2024 book poll.
Fikry’s life is not at all what he expected it to be. He lives alone, his bookstore is experiencing the worst sales in its history, and now his prized possession, a rare collection of Poe poems, has been stolen. But when a mysterious package appears at the bookstore, its unexpected arrival gives Fikry the chance to make his life over—and see everything anew. There is no cost to attend but participation is limited to 50 people. If you sign up, please show up. Calls are recorded and shared on our Youtube channel.
