Owner Of A Lonely Heart A Memoir Beth Nguyen by Beth Nguyen 9781982196349, 1982196343 instant download after payment.

From the award-winning author of Stealing Buddha’s Dinner, a powerful memoir of a mother-daughter relationship fragmented by war & resettlement. At the end of the Vietnam War, when Beth Nguyen was eight months old, she & her father, sister, grandmother, & uncles fled Saigon for America. Beth’s mother stayed—or was left—behind, and they did not meet again until Beth was nineteen. Over the course of her adult life, she & her mother have spent less than twenty-four hours together. 

Owner of a Lonely Heart is a memoir about parenthood, absence, & the condition of being a refugee: the story of Beth’s relationship with her mother. Framed by a handful of visits over the course of many years—sometimes brief, sometimes interrupted, sometimes with her mother alone & sometimes with her sister—Beth tells a coming-of-age story that spans her own Midwestern childhood, her first meeting with her mother, & becoming a parent herself. 

Vivid & illuminating, Owner of a Lonely Heart is a deeply personal story of family, connection, & belonging: as a daughter, a mother, & as a Vietnamese refugee in America.

Beth Nguyen, who has also written under the name Bich Minh Nguyen, is the author of three previous books: the memoir Stealing Buddha’s Dinner & the novels Short Girls & Pioneer Girl. Her awards and honors include an American Book Award & a PEN/Jerard Award from the PEN American Center. Nguyen’s work has also appeared in numerous anthologies & publications including The New Yorker, The Paris Review, The New York Times, & Best American Essays. Nguyen teaches creative writing at the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
