ABOUT THE BOOK
Runner-up for the Dayton Literary Peace Prize 2021
An enveloping, multigenerational story of the Trần family, set against the backdrop of the Vietnam War.
Trần Diệu Lan, born in 1920, is forced to flee her family farm with her six children during the Land Reform, as the Communist government rises in the North. Years later in Hà Nội, her young granddaughter Hương comes of age as her parents and uncles head down the Hồ Chí Minh Trail to fight in a conflict that will tear apart not only her country but her family.
Vivid, gripping and steeped in the language and traditions of Vietnam, The Mountains Sing shows the human cost of the war from the point of view of the Vietnamese themselves – and the enduring power of kindness and hope. It is the celebrated poet Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai’s first novel in English.
