Ru

Overview
The word Ru, chosen by Kim Th y as the title of this beautiful novel, means "nursery rhyme" in Vietnamese, his mother tongue, and "creek" in French, his adopted language. Taking the form of the flow of a stream, the narration navigates the passage through a refugee camp in Malaysia and the beginning of a new immigrant life in Canada. Th y recreates with great delicacy and light a story that took thirty years to decide to write: his own. Impelled by the duty to remember, the novel does not evade the account of the difficulties that a human being must face, who is facing a process of reinvention imposed by exile. However, its starting point is the serenity and gratitude of those who, despite everything, feel the obligation to be happy.
