Uncle Two
Third eldest brother to Tam, Anh’s father. Uncle Three left Vietnam on a boat voyage six months before Anh and his family. On that voyage, he was accompanied by brothers Five, Seven, and Nine. However, pirates shipwrecked the boat the brothers were fleeing on, and only Uncles Three and Nine survived—their two other brothers die. Uncle Three invests in Tam’s farming and property ventures, losing all his savings when the ventures go bust. He then fights with Tam, and ends up returning to America, where he had lived after leaving Vietnam and before his arrival in Australia.
