Bücher von Alice Pung

In this lyrical, bittersweet debut memoir, Pung writes a moving account about identity and the ultimate search for acceptance as she chronicles her life after her family moves from the killing fields of Cambodia to Australia.

At twenty-something, Alice is eager for the milestones of adulthood: leaving home, choosing a career, finding friendship and love on her own terms. But with each step she takes she feels the sharp tug of invisible threads: the love and worry of her parents, who want more than anything to keep her from harm.
