Ru es una conmovedora novela de Kim Thúy que narra la historia de una mujer que viaja a través de sus recuerdos, desde su infancia en Saigón hasta su huida a un campo de refugiados en Malasia y su nueva vida en Quebec. Con una prosa exquisita y observaciones perspicaces, la autora nos lleva en un viaje inolvidable lleno de contrastes entre la guerra y la paz, el vacío y la abundancia, la confusión y la belleza. A través de incidentes tragi-cómicos y objetos cotidianos, la novela evoca el Vietnam de ayer y de hoy con maestría literaria.
