Brave new world

The Hindu  

Feeling kind of down, could be the flu. The story is set in Saigon, Vietnam, and tells the story of 10-year-old Há and how she has to leave behind everything that is familiar — the markets, traditions, festivities, the warmth of family and friends. Father left home on a Navy mission on this day nine years ago when I was almost one. Far away from home Há and her family are evacuated and, on April 30, her family and she escape on a navy ship that arrives in Guam on May 28, where they are sheltered in a refugee camp. Há’s mother chooses France because she has a cousin there but the person behind her advises her to write ‘United States’, as her children will get a government scholarship if they are smart.
