Where We Going,
Daddy?
At the age of 70, Jean-Louis Fournier tells the story of his two disabled sons for
the first time in "Where We Going, Daddy?" and dedicates the book to them.
Both children face extremely debilitating physical and mental challenges with
one constantly asking, "Where we going, Daddy?" while the other thinks he is an engine,
and keeps saying things like, "Brmm brmm..." Imagine living that kind of life, what should
a father do? The immense power of this deeply moving story earned the author the
prestigious French Prix Fämina Award in 2008 and has been included on many bestseller
lists around the world.
Book sold at Tiki bookstore at 34,000 VND.
