Claire Hsu Accomando writes with wonder, precision, and cinematic wisdom. The remembrances and stories of China, France, and America are rendered with tenderness, intelligence, and joy.

People, like flower petals, and scents, are wind-borne: relocated, dislocated, and exiled by war, as well as by the work of peace-making and the human search for stability. Voluptuous with colors and textures, this book of family memory is a vivid gift to the reader that celebrates lived experience recounted with precision before it can slip from our grasp like vapor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Barbara Brinson Curiel, \u003cem\u003eMexican Jenny and Other Poems\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccomando pushes at what the memoir can be across forms: prose, poetry, the new archival document, and photography. The choices she deftly makes serve to propel the work, carrying us through observations of beloved kin as well as the distant and yet ever close presence of evil on their lives across place and time. How they persist and resist is always through love: the love of a name written on a note pinned to the bundle of an abandoned child, the love in a distant grave that remains unvisited physically and yet ever tended in the heart and mind, the love of committing to sharing a life towards a common destination. In these times of upheaval and tumult, we need this exemplar. I will be teaching this book for decades. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e-Raina J.
