Tiny review: The Best We Could Do

The Best We Could Do by Thi Bui
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

By chance I read this on the heels of another graphic novel by the grown child of Vietnamese refugees - Vietnamerica - and this one is as informative and transformative as that one. Together they start to build a small part of a picture for me in my hole of knowledge about Vietnam and the Vietnam War. The complexity of the situations for these layered and blended families is well portrayed through this medium. I am grateful for the story and the teller.
