Audrey Approved asked Phuc Tran:

Hi, Phuc! Did your parents ever read Sigh, Gone? If so, what do they think of their representation in the book? (Also, my Mom came over from SG in 1975 and fish sauce in the spaghetti is the ONLY way to eat it! I kept smiling when I came across little descriptions like that, such small things that were random yet also so relatable.)

Phuc Tran Hi, Audrey! Gotta love nuoc mam in everything (so good in scrambled eggs), hahaha.... My father did finally get around to reading it. I don't think that my mother has read it (it's a challenging book for her level of literacy, I think). We haven't really talked about the book. I did ask my father what he thought of the book (via text), and he said that it was very painful to read (which makes sense to me). That's about the extent of our conversations about the book.
