About the Author
Kim Thúy is a Vietnamese-Canadian author, lawyer, and restaurateur whose evocative writing draws from her personal experiences as a refugee fleeing Vietnam at the age of ten. Settling in Quebec, she has woven her multicultural background into narratives that explore themes of immigration, identity, resilience, and the quiet triumphs of everyday life. Her debut novel, Ru, a poignant and lyrical account of a woman's journey from war-torn Vietnam to a new world, garnered international acclaim, winning the Governor General's Literary Award and establishing her as a vital voice in contemporary literature. Thúy's work often blends memoir and fiction, offering intimate portraits of displacement and belonging that resonate deeply with readers worldwide.
