The Mountains Sing by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai

5.0

"what my uncle said made me think. i had resented america, too. but by reading their books, i saw the other side of them—their humanity. somehow i was sure that if people were willing to read each other, and see the light of other cultures, there would be no war on earth."

a poignant, beautiful, earnest, brutal view on the vietnam war and its effects on the vietnamese.
