Description
Khai Diep no tiene sentimientos. Bueno, se siente irritado cuando la gente mueve sus cosas o contento cuando los libros de contabilidad se equilibran hasta el último centavo, pero no experimenta emociones grandes e importantes como el amor y el dolor. En lugar de creer que procesa las emociones de manera diferente debido a que es autista, concluye que es defectuoso y decide evitar las relaciones románticas. Entonces su madre, llevada a la desesperación, toma el asunto en sus propias manos y regresa a Vietnam para encontrarle la novia perfecta por correo. Como una niña de raza mixta que vive en los barrios marginales de la ciudad de Ho Chi Minh, Esme Tran siempre se ha sentido fuera de lugar. Cuando surge la oportunidad de casarse con un estadounidense, la aprovecha, pensando que podría ser el descanso que necesita su familia. Sin embargo, seducir a Khai no sale según lo planeado. Las lecciones de amor de Esme parecen estar funcionando... pero solo en ella misma. Está irremediablemente enamorada de un hombre que cree que nunca podrá devolverle su afecto. Esme debe convencer a Khai de que hay más de una forma de amar. Y Khai debe descubrir el funcionamiento interno de su corazón antes de que Esme se vaya a casa y esté a un océano de distancia.
Description
Khai Diep has no feelings. Well, he feels irritation when people move his things or contentment when ledgers balance down to the penny, but he doesn't experience big, important emotions like love and grief. Rather than believing he processes emotions differently due to being autistic, he concludes that he's defective and decides to avoid romantic relationships. So his mother, driven to desperation, takes matters into her own hands and returns to Vietnam to find him the perfect mail-order bride. As a mixed-race girl living in the slums of Ho Chi Minh City, Esme Tran has always felt out of place. When the opportunity to marry an American arises, she leaps at it, thinking that it could be the break her family needs. Seducing Khai, however, doesn't go as planned. Esme's lessons in love seem to be working...but only on herself. She's hopelessly smitten with a man who believes he can never return her affection. Esme must convince Khai that there is more than one way to love. And Khai must figure out the inner workings of his heart before Esme goes home and is an ocean away.
