Christmas in Hanoi
by Edward Nguyen Borey
Highlights
Synopsis
Winnie Ganley and her family are traveling to Vietnam, her late mother’s birth country, during Christmas.
Her Irish-American father is drinking too much, her Vietnamese grandfather is coming to believe his grandchildren are too assimilated and her brother is seeing ghosts.
As Winnie tries to uncover the real reason her father and grandfather have decided to make the trip, she – and the rest of her family – try to make peace with the past, with each other and with themselves.
