Description

In this intimate, thought-provoking novel, Minh Lê explores what it means to rise—emotionally, morally, and socially—when the world around you refuses to stay still. Through a cast of characters navigating ambition, loss, and the quiet negotiations of everyday life, the story traces how small choices can become turning points, lifting people toward new possibilities or forcing them to confront what they’ve been avoiding. With lyrical, grounded prose and a keen eye for human contradiction, the book examines themes of resilience, identity, and the cost of transformation. Part coming-of-age and part reflective journey, it offers a compelling look at the forces that raise us up—and the ones that hold us down.
