The Mountains Sing by Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai
4.0

The Mountains Sing is a lyrical historical novel that takes you through the story of Grandma Dieu Lan's experiences with the Great Hunger, the Land Reform, and the Vietnam War. If you need a story about a woman whose strength is the heart of it, this is a good place to start.

The way it wrapped up made it feel juvenile. But, maybe, it is because I could have continued to learn more and read more about Guava & Dieu Lan's story.
