Description
April 1975, Saigon is in chaos. A general of the South Vietnamese army is drawing up a list of those who will be given passage aboard the last flights out of the country. Among them is a man who has been secretly observing and reporting on the group to a higher-up in the Viet Cong. This is the story of that man, a man caught between two worlds, torn between his past and his present. Born to an absent French father and a poor Vietnamese mother, the man went to university in America, but returned to Vietnam to fight for the Communist cause. His life is a complex web of loyalty, duty, and deception. A gripping spy novel, an astute exploration of extreme politics, and a moving love story, The Sympathizer examines the legacy of the Vietnam War and its impact on individuals and society. This novel is a powerful exploration of the human experience, set against the backdrop of one of the most tumultuous periods in modern history.
