In 1978, six Vietnamese refugees were pulled from the sea just off California.

In San Diego, a little girl's matter-of-fact innocence masks the ghostly traumas that still haunt her: the cataclysm that engulfed her homeland; the memory of a brother who drowned; the heartbreaking spectacle of her parents trying to make a new home, their struggle backlit by the memory of a forbidden love when they were young.

Le Thi Diem Thuy has revealed a world of great beauty and enormous sorrows. 'The Gangster We Are All Looking For' is an authentically original novel about remembering and forgetting, about home and family, and about trying to find a place - and voice - in a new world.
