Between an Apple and a Banana Tree. Life is a Story - story.one

"Between an Apple and a Banana Tree" is a moving memoir about the search for identity and belonging. Kieu Trinh Phi Van shares her life as a child of Vietnamese guest workers in Germany. She grapples with her name, her culture, and her origins as she navigates between different worlds. From her childhood in East Germany to adventures in Vietnam, from the quest for love to existential questions about God and Buddha. In a world that oscillates between sobriety and intoxication, lost and found, she ultimately finds her own voice and place, realizing that home is not just a geographical location but also a sense of connection with oneself and the world around.

"Between searching and finding lies a journey of self-discovery and growth. And while this journey may never truly end, as I stood between an apple and a banana tree, I learned to find my true home within myself."
