Award-winning French Vietnamese novelist, Line Papin, will be joining readers in Washington for a captivating Conversation and Book Signing event. Hosted by the Vietnam Society at Busboys and Poets, this event is not to be missed. Papin will be discussing her highly anticipated new book, The Girl Before Her, a poignant coming-of-age tale that explores themes of dislocation and inherited trauma.

The Girl Before Her is a powerful autofictional novel that takes readers on a journey through three generations of women as they navigate war, marriage, and immigration. Set against the backdrop of a small farming village in Vietnam, as well as the cities of France, this novel delves deep into the complexities of identity and belonging. The narrator, a child of both French and Vietnamese heritage, grapples with a sense of displacement and searches for her place in the world. This introspective exploration of self is beautifully conveyed through Papin's spare and poetic writing style.

Published by Ink and Blood, an imprint from Kaya Press and the Diasporic Vietnamese Artist Network, The Girl Before Her marks Papin's phenomenal English-language debut. This event offers a unique opportunity to connect with a talented author and fellow book enthusiasts. Join us at Busboys and Poets on October 2, 2023, for an unforgettable evening celebrating literature and the power of storytelling. Admission is free, so make sure to reserve your spot for this exceptional event.
