Trang thought about the many years her mother had tended the field, taken care of her daughters, cooked, and cleaned. She'd been the pillar for her injured husband to lean on. A proverb said that rough seas make better seamen, but Trang knew wars made tougher women. Despite the challenges, her mother had always been determined that her two daughters be brought up properly. "Just like your banana plants, you need good soil," she'd said. "And your soil is your education." - Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai Dust Child I found myself falling deeply in love with Dust Child by @nguyenphanquemai_ with each passing day.The story of Phong, Trang and Quỳnh tugs harder at my heart as I dive deeper into the book.Their pain, struggle, helplessness, search for roots and dreams of prosperity struck a chord with me.My heart went out to Trang who find herself stuck between heart and home. : : #qotd : What are you reading nowadays?
