�THE BESTSELLING STORY OF TWO GENERATIONS OF WOMEN WHOSE LIVES ARE CHANGED FOREVER BY THE VIET NAM WAR'An epic account of Viet Nam's painful 20th-century history, both vast in scope and intimate in its telling... Moving and riveting.' Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sympathizer�Ha Noi, 1972.�Huong and her grandmother, Tr?n Di?u Lan, cling to one another in their improvised shelter as American bombs fall around them. For�Tr?n Di?u Lan, forced to flee the family farm with her six children decades earlier as the Communist government rose to power in the North, this experience is horribly familiar. Seen through the eyes of these two unforgettable women, The Mountains Sing captures their defiance and determination, hope and unexpected joy.�Vivid, gripping, and steeped in the language and traditions of�Vi?t Nam, celebrated Vietnamese poet�Nguy?n's richly lyrical debut weaves between the lives of a grandmother and granddaughter to paint a unique picture of a country pushed to breaking point, and a family who refuse to give up. Selected as a Best Book of 2020 by�NB Magazine�*�BookBrowse�*�Buzz Magazine�* NPR *�Washington Independent Review of Books�*�Real Simple�*�She Reads * A Hindu's View * Thoughts from a Page
