Description
The Mountains Sing by Que Mai Phan Nguyen is an absorbing and stirring novel that remedies history with its powerful portrayal of one of Vietnam's most difficult times. Set against the backdrop of the Việt Nam War, this epic tale spans generations and explores the human costs of conflict through the eyes of the Vietnamese people. Tran Diệu Lan's story begins in 1920, when she is forced to flee her family farm with her six children during the Land Reform. Years later, her young granddaughter Hương comes of age as her parents and uncles head off down the Hồ Chí Minh Trail to fight in a conflict that tears apart not just their country, but also their family. With vivid prose and a deep understanding of Vietnamese culture and traditions, The Mountains Sing brings to life the human experience of war and its lasting impact on individuals and communities.
