LOAN tu cuoc doi cua mot con chim Phuong Hoang
Description:
Isabelle Müller tells the true story of the emancipation of her mother Loan, an idiosyncratic and rebellious Vietnamese who, at the age of twelve, fled from a forced marriage to embark on a long and often dangerous odyssey through Vietnam, France and Algeria to find oneself and have a free, self-determined life. The cultural and political upheavals caused by the French colonization, the Japanese attack at the end of the Second World War, the partition of Vietnam in the 1950s and France's war against Algeria in the 1960s form the historical background to her search for identity. The book gives an insight into a fairytale-like but also partially archaic, brutal culture in China's neighboring country. It tells of dignity, tolerance and acceptance, of an exotic culture of an almost forgotten time, and thus closes an important literary gap in Vietnam's history
