When the Tamarind Tree Blooms by Elaine Russell
Genevieve Dubois (Vivi), a half Lao/half French métisse, turns eighteen and leaves the French orphanage in Vientiane, Laos, where she has lived for fourteen unhappy years. She is determined to learn the truth of what happened to her parents and why she was abandoned, which the orphanage refuses to reveal. Vivi is soon immersed in the deeply divided society of French colons ruling over Laos, where neither the Lao nor French cultures readily accepts her mixed blood. Her search for her Lao heritage and an understanding of where she fits lead her to a secret love affair and heartbreak. A coming of age story set in the lush setting of colonial Southeast Asia.| SKU | Unavailable |
