Boat People: Book and Ru

boat people: Ru was the 2015 winner of Canada Reads, won a Governor General's Award for fiction, and now is the choice of the One Book One Island program in P.E.I. libraries, which promotes a featured book that all Islanders can enjoy, according to CBC. How great is that she said to Angela Walker, host of CBC's Mainstreet. Kim Th y's book Ru tells the story of her family's journey as boat people from Vietnam to a refugee camp, and then to the welcoming arms of the people of Quebec and a new life. What a great concept. It's her first time to P.E.I., and Ru was the first book she had ever written, done for fun on a work break. And that's a very big island too that you have. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
