We Are Here is a memoir that begins in 1975. Cat Thao Nguyen’s family escaped persecution through the horrific jungles of Khmer Rouge Cambodia and the crowded refugee camps of Thailand before, finally, the Nguyens were allowed to board a Qantas plane to a freedom they wanted desperately. But the suburban landscapes of western Sydney were not the unalloyed blessing they’d imagined.
