Elevator in Sai Gon by Thuân

A young Vietnamese woman living in Paris travels back to Saigon for her estranged mother’s funeral. Her brother had recently built a new house in Saigon, and staged a grotesquely lavish ceremony for their mother to inaugurate what was rumored to be the first elevator in a private home in the country. But shortly after the ceremony, in the middle of the night, their mother mysteriously fell down the elevator shaft, dying in an instant. After the funeral, the daughter becomes increasingly fascinated with her family’s history, and begins to investigate and track an enigmatic figure who emerges from her mother's notebook.

Copies of the book will be available at the previous month's meeting and then at the Information Desk. Remote attendance is possible; please register in order to have the login information sent to you.  Registration is only needed if you plan to attend remotely.
