And Tu’ is a tour guide who will have a stunning effect on them both.

This book was quite beautiful. It provided a window into a place and time that is generally viewed through the lens of stereotype. The story was interesting, but the characters were the strength of the story.

A book I won't forget

I enjoyed reading this before visiting Vietnam and I sought out the local pho shops for breakfast because of what I learned!

Any additional comments?

This story is beautiful. Prose is both evocative and informative.

I strongly recommend reading this before traveling to Vietnam! Something for everyone: art, history, war stories, food, love and relationships...

I had intended to read it before leaving for Vietnam, but ended up starting it while I was there. Luckily, I started just in time to learn how to correctly eat Pho and impress the family hosting us. (several raised eyebrows and surprise!)

Based on conversations I had with our hosts and with our guides, students and other locals, I sensed that the way the Vietnamese people felt about Americans is accurately portrayed in this novel.

There were several points in this story that my eyes stung with tears, but the ending truly got me. I listen in the car, and the ending had me sobbing while I sat at a stop sign. Not because it was heartbreaking and sad, but because it was so perfect.
"Hung has his moments of wondering whether this is the afterlife or the present life. But then he asks himself: does it matter?"

Beautiful Story

As a Canadian who was barely aware of the American war in Vietnam, visiting that country was an extraordinary experience without the emotions experienced by so many of the Americans we met there. (we were on a conference for a week, then on our own for two) This book transported me to many of the experiences I'd had but took me much deeper into the relationships and thoughts of the people. I could almost taste the Pho. Grateful for this emotional trip through time and art.

This book was great for a combination of a Viet story between characters you love, while peeling back layers of history. Made you understand the complexity and nuances of the culture with it's heartbreak and heart warming characters!

The narrator is also phenomenal, pull you into the book even more!
