Nam Moi: Cau Chuyen Cua Co Gai Cung Gia Dinh Vuot Bien Tim Tu Do (Vietnamese Edition)

I bought this for my wife who is Vietnamese. She loves to read in her native language & she loved this book. It follows the history of a Vietnamese family from the French era to their current life in America.

I bought this book for my elderly father. He is at page 236 and said that he’s thoroughly enjoying the book.

Very interesting book, especially for folks with a big interest in Vietnam after the American war there. The author paints a very clear picture of her family's life after the Communist takeover, and how the Chinese merchant class in VN was especially targeted for shakedowns. The book details the difficulties as well as the successes in the life of the author's family, going from the dangers of being lost at sea to the eventual triumph of success for her and her extended family in the western nations they eventually settled in. I especially recommend this book because of the big variety of interesting topics it nicely covers, pre war society, post war difficulties, Chinese diaspora in Vietnam and then later in the west, Asian integration into western culture, Vietnamese refugees after the war, Buddhist culture being practiced in the west, Asian families motivating their children towards family centered goals, and quite a few other related subtopics. Very illuminating story of how Asians can become a great asset to their new homelands, and how their Asian family values (while sometimes too meddlesome and unenlightened) helped to mold this generation into becoming some very special people.
