4.5

4.5 but maybe a 5. Oh my god what a book. I listened to the  audio, which was read by the author, and really loved it. This is centered on the lives of Vietnamese people during and after the Vietnam war. I found it so interesting and learned so much, and in such an emotional way. The writing feels almost poetic and is so beautiful. And I absolutely loved how all the different viewpoints come together in the end. Highly recommend this one.
