Lily is a first-generation immigrant in a family of unapologetic women. Throughout the story, Lily and her family must come face-to-face with their own truths, which begin as fragmented pieces that are slowly assembled over the course of their lifetimes. The characters in After the Rain are terrible, angry, feminine, tender-they demand to be seen and heard. And as Lily learns the story of her family and watches her Amah die, she comes closer to understanding how her family wants and needs to be loved.
In After the Rain, readers will join author Angeline Truong as she explores grief, cultural barriers, and her Vietnamese-American identity. Truong strings together her own experiences, her people’s experiences, and her dreams in order to excavate and understand her family’s history, as well as her own identity.
