After the Vietnam War, siblings Anh, Minh, and Thanh flee to Hong Kong with the hope their family will soon follow. But tragedy intervenes, and sixteen-year-old Anh is left to raise her younger brothers in exile.
Their journey leads them to the UK, through refugee camps and into a London that offers both opportunity and indifference. As the years pass, the siblings drift—each grappling with loss, identity, and the quiet ache of survivor’s guilt.
Woven with ghostly echoes, historical fragments, and lyrical prose, Wandering Souls traces a fractured family’s search for home in a world that keeps moving forward.
Tender, haunting, and powerfully human, Cecile Pin’s debut is a stunning portrait of resilience, love, and the stories we hold onto when everything else slips away.
