5.0 out of 5 starsSeriously Wonderful
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2019
Ten stars - or many more. A special book, one which rarely comes, wisdom and sharing and a story that will stay with me for always.
1951 I was born, so just a bit too young to fully understand the horrors, heartbreaks, and atrocities of the Viet Nam war. Still have my “make love not war” keychain from that time - and memories that I would prefer not to have. The evacuations. The broken soldiers who returned. The ones that didn’t. Ms Lai, I commend you for your sharing. I bow to you. I hug you.
Read this book, any and all people who peruse reviews and may stumble across this one. I don’t know how to possibly give it a higher recommendation. I cried, and was enchanted, laughed, and applauded the wisdom shared.
I so much look forward to the next book written by this brilliant author. November 2019, I believe, is its release date (writing this, so am unable to double check). No spoilers, nothing that I can say that can possibly convey how charming and delightful this book is, so — read it and write a review!
My heartfelt thanks for your efforts, Thanhha Lai.
