This ecology of grief in love consumes their relationship, and this ecology reinvents it.Here, domestic grief becomes epic tragedy, draped in the costumes of the Greeks. Make no mistake. This is a story about now as much about the myths in ancient sorrow and beauty in ancient seas reinvented in each of us. Each daughter is her own Demeter and Persephone. Each mother is her own Persephone and Demeter. It is as much about the earth in your own backyard. The earth in one’s own heart. So pulverizing, our inner and outer world, in its relationship with eternity and thus so lovely in its eternity. Perhaps cruel. But beautiful always unutterably beautiful.How can Catholic bring her little girl and boy back? Can she do it by bringing fish from the sea into her home? Did her little girl mistake the sea for a beautiful dress?I believe here we are reading Vi Khi Nao’s dream of love. And of love in broken paradises. Nao is working through her own pain. Her own fate. Her own blows. The paradises that our life grants us by the very existence of our minds. And the pain our mind knows. By what we see and hear in our fractured and exalted states and cannot unsee once it’s heard. How love must save us from utter annihilation. And how it cannot. How at least we think this way when being honest with how we think about love in life. If not save then sweeten the meat. For even in our longing not to eat, to perish, a part of us wants so badly to be cooked for. For sugar for the night of intense knowing. Paradise is not just a word for art or dreamed of lost potential. Perhaps nothing in Vi Khi Nao is a word for anything but rather the raw elements of living and loss itself so physical is her language so kinetic her imagery. Here is a love story trying to outrun grief. It is a grenade. The sea is right on your heels.(I keep forgetting this is a book. This is a book and is not reality, yes?) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I read this in one sitting *by I***V on Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2017* I read this in one sitting and that hasn't happened to me (with a book) in a long, looong timeI couldn't put this down and it's not even a book written for thrills, with actions scenes and such. It was a quiet portrayal of grief with delightfully grandiose moments - like a Greek tragedy, only better. I couldn't make myself stop reading. I hate that I finished it because now I'm left in the ether, desperately looking for other books like this one. So far, I've found none.Seriously, I'm tempted to read this novel again and I finished it yesterday at four in the morning. In short: Fish in Exile was magnificently enthralling. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fish in Exile is an excellent example of Vi Khi Nao’s control over form in ... *by P***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017* Vi Khi Nao offers a poignant tale of loss, sex, relationships and family in her latest novel. Much of the novel is written in an elevated poetic style that slowly, and effectively, transitions into a more traditional prose style, later transitioning back into the poetic structure as the novel nears its end. As an artistic piece, Fish in Exile is an excellent example of Vi Khi Nao’s control over form in non-traditional, experimental verse/prose. I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed her unapologetic use of language, as some dialogue was implanted with untranslated verse and dialogue from a variety of languages. For me, stepping back from a story, if only for a brief moment to research and understand the references made within the novel, created an enjoyable reading experience. The characters remained simultaneously bizarre and believable throughout, and I found myself fully committed to each of their stories. The humor, while remaining dark and poignant, is expelled in energetic bursts of prose but remains somewhat downplayed within the larger story. The novel offers a deeply cathartic ending that, as a reader, is satisfying. It is one of the few novels that I found nearly impossible to put down and read excitedly over the course of a few hours. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in new, exciting, and thoughtful fiction. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hu/products/38743250-fish-in-exile](https://www.desertcart.hu/products/38743250-fish-in-exile) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hungary* *Store origin: HU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
