The Manicurist’s Daughter seems to be about generational and intercultural trauma, but also self-discovery and personal strength.

The plot weaves together a family’s escape from Vietnam to America while Susan discovers who she is, what her family went through, and the differences between cultures.

I want to read more because this seems like the plot line of a story that not only has a historical basis but also sheds light on personal struggles we all deal with (body image, finding our own strength). The cover plays on the neon lights of a salon that is open, displaying a welcoming and inviting vibe.
