Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai and Mai Nguyen meet for the 1st time

Mai holding The Mountain Sing book by Nguyen Phan Que Mai

In The Mountains Sing, Nguyễn Phan Quế Mai has created a luminous, complex family narrative that spans nearly a century of Vietnamese history, from the French colonial period through the communist Viet Minh's rise to power, the separation between North and South Vietnam, the Vietnam War, all the way to the present day.

I love the poetry and books of Nguyen Phan Que Mai. Had the pleasure of meeting her in 2021 at The Mountain Sing book event. #vietnameseculture #vietnamesehistory #vietnam #vietnamese #vietdiaspora
