Sue | 2723 comments A beautifully written story about unspeakable loss and the horror of war.

This story is told from the perspectives of a Grandmother and Granddaughter, spanning the breadth of both the internal civil war within Vietnam and the war with America.

Ultimately, this is a story of survival and hope, family strength, and the peace of forgiveness.

A very moving and emotional book!

Peacejanz | 1015 comments Great review. It was the first book I ever read from the perspective of a Vietnamese. All the stuff I had read before was war stuff from or about American soldiers. Thanks for a good review. peace, janz
