This acclaimed novel reveals the life of a Vietnamese family in America through the knowing eyes of a child finding her place and voice in a new country.

In 1978 six refugees--a girl, her father, and four "uncles"--are pulled from the sea to begin a new life in San Diego. In the child's imagination, the world is transmuted into an unearthly realm: she sees everything intensely, hears the distress calls of inanimate objects, and waits for her mother to join her. But life loses none of its strangeness when the family is reunited. As the girl grows, her matter-of-fact innocence eddies increasingly around opaque and ghostly traumas: the cataclysm that engulfed her homeland, the memory of a brother who drowned and, most inescapable, her father's hopeless rage.

Accurate and easy to use

At the moment, I can't think of anything I dislike about this scale. The buttons are responsive, the measurements are accurate (I checked the readings with a couple of calibration weights from a scientific scale), the displays are clear. Operation in daily use is very simple. 1. Turn on scale 2. After self test, place carafe and filter 3. Press "T" to tare 4. Add grinds 5. Press "||>" to weigh the grinds. This automatically tares the scale again and sets the timer to standby. It also activates the coffee to water ratio display 6. Add water and the timer automatically starts so you get a precise bloom time. The added water is weighed and displayed as you pour and the coffee to water ratio display gives you an instantaneous reading, so you can brew your perfect cup of coffee each time. The scale has a large capacity and precise resolution so it works for single small cups to large pots. All in all, the best scale I've tried so far and might pick up another one when they go on sale (again). Highly recommended.
