Review |
80 years of Vietnam’s fraught history distilled in poet’s debut novel The Mountains Sing
- Nguyen Phan Que Mai’s first novel follows four generations of one family through eight decades of recent history in Vietnam
- One idea proposed by the interconnecting stories is that of a series of impossible choices made between ideals and harsh reality
