Wonderful book. Cried most of the way.
Latest Read: Inside Out & Back Again by Thanhha Lai
My daughter read this for school. I had recently finished reading a book by another Vietnamese author and decided to read this.
Both thumbs up. Important book in these times. Wonderfully written.

Very useful. I have brought it to my cube.
Latest Read: God: A Human History by Reza Aslan
Loved it. Highly recommend.
Got to see him at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall in the 2017/2018 Literary Arts lecture series. He is quite an engaging speaker and his lecture was on this book incidentally.
I was a little surprised by the conclusion drawn by him in the book, which I do not want to give away. I was surprised as he identifies as a Muslim. I actually agree with the conclusion, mostly because I feel that there is no distance between the two extremes of there is no god and all is god. Interestingly he did draw quite a bit from Hariri's Sapiens in this book which pleased me no end as Aslan and Hariri are two authors that I admire very much.
