The Frangipani Hotel is a collection of short stories by Violet Kupersmith. Kupersmith is a new, young American writer of Vietnamese descent.
The stories are filled with bits of traditional Vietnamese folk tales and ghost stories, while maintaining a distinctly modern feel. The ghost of the Vietnam War floats eerily in the background of all the stories.
It's a wonderfully compelling collection from an original new voice. I was drawn in from the very first story. Kupersmith is working on her first novel now. I can't wait to read more from this promising young writer.
