The Mountains Sing by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai

3.0

This book was an amazing story which will stick with me for how informative it is about the painful and complex history of Vietnam. I think unfortunately the writing suffered in translation (or the lack of translator) and I can see how it would have been much better in Vietnamese. I appreciate how they wanted to use this to cover everything but also think it did mean the book was just plot plot plot and could’ve benefited from a bit more interior life.
