The Unwanted: A Memoir of Childhood | Kien Nguyen

1 post | 3 read | 2 to read

Saigon fell to the Viet Cong on April 30, 1975. Kien Nguyen watched the last U.S. Army helicopter leave without him, without his brother, without his mother, without his grandparents. Left to a nightmarish existence in a violated & decimated country, Kien was more at risk than most because of his odd blond hair & his light eyes - because he was Amerasian. He was the most unwanted. Told with stark & poetic brilliance, this is a story of survival & hope, a moving & personal record of a tumultuous & important piece of history.

The Unwanted: A Memoir of Childhood | Kien Nguyen

pick

A devastating memoir about an era of history that I didn't know much about. I knew that the offspring of Americans didn't fare well in postwar Vietnam, but had no idea how awful it really was. I think that it hit me harder because the author is my age and our lives were so different. Read and weep .
