The Mountains Sing

Author: Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai

Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai’s “The Mountains Sing” is a breathtaking saga that swept me away. It follows the Trần family through generations of love, loss, and resilience in Vietnam. The author’s lyrical prose paints a vivid picture of a country torn apart by war and colonialism. I found myself deeply moved by the strength of the women at the heart of this story. It’s a powerful reminder of the human cost of conflict and the enduring bonds of family. A must-read for anyone seeking to understand Vietnam’s complex history through intimate, personal stories.

The challenges we face in life are only as large as the fears we feed.
