"Ru" by Kim Thuy is a novel in fragmentary form. Brief chapters or vignettes look back on the life of a woman: from affluent to refugee to immigrant. At times, I was not sure exactly what was meant or even what was happening. Yet, being more evocative than detailed, Thuy creates an impression of events and experiences that seem all the more real. Very good read.
