A highly interesting book. One of our book club members knew the author who was coming to visit this part of Europe, so we read the book and had a remarkable evening with a personality that you don't find that often.
Born in Vietnam, Anh Vu fled Saigon in 1975 with her family. A young medical student tells her dramatic and very touching story of both her different lives.
We discussed this in our international book club with the author in April 2004.
Read my original review here.
You got to meet the author of this one? That's so cool. :D
ReplyDeleteYes, she was a wonderful lady. Probably still is. Her story was quite different from that of any of us but I think it moved us all to hear what she had been through. I could never not want to help a refugee.
