With the epic sweep of Min Jin Leeās Pachinko or Yaa Gyasiās Homegoing and the lyrical beauty of Vaddey Ratnerās In the Shadow of the Banyan, The Mountains Sing tells an enveloping, multigenerational tale of the Trįŗ§n family, set against the backdrop of the Viį»t Nam War. Trįŗ§n Diį»u Lan, who was born in 1920, was forced to flee her family farm with her six children during the Land Reform as the Communist government rose in the North. Years later in HĆ Nį»i, her young granddaughter, HĘ°Ę”ng, comes of age as her parents and uncles head off down the Hį» ChĆ Minh Trail to fight in a conflict that toreĀ apart not just her beloved country, but also her family.
Vivid, gripping, and steeped in the language and traditions of Viį»t Nam, The Mountains Sing brings to life the human costs of this conflict from the point of view of the Vietnamese people themselves, while showing us the true power of kindness and hope.
The Mountains Sing is celebrated Vietnamese poet Nguyį» n Phan Quįŗæ Maiās first novel in English.
