#BookFaceFriday “House of Sticks: A Memoir” by Ly Tran

Get your hands on this #BookFaceFriday!

This #BookFace is a sneak peek at our next Book Club Spotlight! “House of Sticks: A Memoir” by Ly Tran (Scribner; First Edition; 2021), follows Ly’s life from childhood when her and her family immigrate from a small town along the Mekong river in Vietnam to a two-bedroom railroad apartment in Queens and she finds herself torn between two worlds.

A New York City Book Awards Hornblower Award Winner and one of Vouge and NPR’s Best Books of the Year, Ly Tran writes a deeply compelling memoir. We have 8 copies for your reading group to borrow in our Book Club Kit collection, and you can look forward to reading the upcoming spotlight on May 6th!

“Powerful … showcases the tremendous power we have to alter the fates of others, step into their lives and shift the odds in favor of greater opportunity”

Minneapolis Star Tribune
