The eight linked stories that comprise Aimee Phan's chilling debut are inspired by Operation Babylift, the evacuation of thousands of orphans from Vietnam to America weeks before the fall of Saigon. Moving effortlessly between the war-torn homeland and Orange County's Little Saigon, Phan chronicles the journeys of four such orphans. Passionate and beautifully written, We Should Never Meet is an utterly fresh reconsideration of the Vietnam War for a new generation and heralds the arrival of one of the very best of the new wave of Asian-American authors (David Wong Louie).
