This summer, discover Ocean Vuong’s bighearted and vibrant story of unexpected friendship, chosen family and embracing second chances. ‘HEARTBREAKING’ Guardian ‘BEAUTIFUL’ Oprah Winfrey ‘DRAMATIC AND VIVID’ Colm TóibÃn One late summer evening in the town of East Gladness, nineteen-year-old Hai stands on the edge of a bridge, ready to jump, when he hears someone shout across the river. The voice belongs to Grazina, an elderly widow. From this moment, his second chance begins. Over the course of the year, Hai’s story takes new and unexpected turns, as his life-altering bond with Grazina transforms his relationship to the community, his family and, most powerfully of all, to himself.
