    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    THE MILLION-COPY BESTSELLER AND TIKTOK SENSATION

    'A marvel' Marlon James

    Brilliant, heart-breaking and highly original, discover Ocean Vuong's shattering coming of age novel.

    This is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born. It tells of Vietnam, of the lasting impact of war, and of his family's struggle to forge a new future.

    And it serves as a doorway into parts of Little Dog's life his mother has never known - episodes of bewilderment, fear and passion - all the while moving closer to an unforgettable revelation.

    'Reminded me that every word can be an incantation, and that beauty does hard and important work' Rebecca Solnit
