About this audiobook

How do you grieve the death of a child? With fishtanks and jellyfish burials, Persephone’s pomegranate seeds, and affairs with the neighbors. Fish in Exile spins unimaginable loss through classical and magical tumblers, distorting our view so that we can see the contours of a parent’s grief all the more clearly.

Editor's Note

Poetic story of grief…

A couple is racked with grief over the loss of their child to the ocean, with no body to bury and no closure in sight. Through immersive, poetic prose and the usage of mythology of all types — Greek, Roman, and Christianity — the story of two bereaved parents and all their methods of coping are laid bare. From affairs with neighbors to attempting to dress (and inadvertently kill) a series of tropical fish, Vi Khi Nao’s novel is a vivid story of grief and the ways we move forward.
