Summer Rolls

'The women in this house are the same,' she said. 'When we love, we love with all of ourselves.'

Mai is a teenager. She yearns for knotty, passionate love and dreams of being a photographer. But Mai is also, as her mother Trinh likes to remind her, not like other teenagers: she's first-generation British-Vietnamese, caught between two cultures, navigating life in London and wondering about what once happened in Vietnam.

But Trinh doesn't want to think about what happened in Vietnam - doesn't want to think about the young girl she used to be, the hopes and dreams she once had, and how that all ended when she was forced to flee her war-torn home.

But when secrets from the past finally resurface, their bond begins to fracture. And soon they realise that the ties that bind them together can also break them . . .

Shifting between mother and daughter, Summer Rolls is an epic story of loss and freedom, belonging and hope, and how far we sometimes must go to find our way home.
