Par Kim Thúy. 2009
Ru est composé de très courts récits liés un peu comme dans une ritournelle : la première phrase du chapitre…
reprend le plus souvent l’idée qui terminait le chapitre précédent, permettant ainsi de faire le pont entre tous les événements que la narratrice a connus : sa naissance au Vietnam pendant la guerre, la fuite avec les boat people, son accueil dans une petite ville du Québec, ses études, ses liens familiaux, son enfant autiste, etc. La vie de l’auteure est bourrée de gens charmants, singuliers, de situations difficiles ou saugrenues vécues avec un bonheur égal, et elle sait jouer à merveille avec les sentiments du lecteur, oscillant entre le tragique et le comique, entre le prosaïque et le spirituel. 2009.Rêves amers (Les romans de Je bouquine. 119)
